How do I retail UK rail tickets?

All businesses looking to retail UK rail tickets will need their activities to be covered by a licence issued by the Rail Delivery Group (RDG), the body that represents all the train operating companies in the UK. Evolvi is extremely experienced in helping third parties enter the UK market, firstly through our online rail booking and fulfilment API, and secondly as a result of our existing partnership with RDG.

How do I get a Rail Delivery Group licence?

You can choose to apply for your own licence and we can assist with this, but the most direct route to market is via the Evolvi licence and with our self-booking tool or our API product.

Do I need separate agreements with each TOC (train operating company) to retail tickets?

No, you do not need separate contracts with individual train operating companies. You will possess a contract with Evolvi and trade through our licence, or obtain your own licence with RDG.
