Planning a journey often means checking several different websites for trains, buses, coaches, flights and local transport.
MyRailPool is making that simpler.
We have launched a new door-to-door travel comparison tool that helps travellers compare different ways to complete the same journey in one place.
Compare the whole journey
Instead of only showing one part of a trip, MyRailPool looks at the journey from your actual starting point to your final destination.
Depending on the route, options can include:
- Train
- Bus and coach
- Private hire
- Flights
- Walking connections
You can then compare options based on price, total journey time, number of changes and convenience.
Cheapest, fastest or most convenient?
Not every traveller is looking for the same thing.
Some people want the lowest price. Others want the fastest option or the journey with the fewest changes.
MyRailPool highlights options such as:
Cheapest – the lowest-cost available journey
Fastest – the shortest total travel time
Best overall – a balance between price and journey time
Most convenient – fewer changes and simpler connections
This makes it easier to choose the journey that works best for you.
A real door-to-door example
For example, someone travelling from Stratford-upon-Avon to Paris may have several possible combinations.
One journey could use local public transport to reach an airport before flying.
Another could use a MyRailPool private hire vehicle directly to the airport, reducing the number of changes and making it easier to travel with luggage.
Rather than researching every part separately, travellers can compare these options together.
Built around the complete journey
MyRailPool started by helping people with private hire, airport transfers and shared transport.
Our new comparison feature is another step towards a wider goal: helping people understand all the practical ways they can travel from door to door before deciding which option is right for them.
We will continue improving the comparison experience and adding more useful information to help travellers make better decisions.
