\nWho We Are and What We Do   \n\nRail is set to dominate short and medium haul travel around the world. It’s faster, greener and more convenient than air travel, and it cuts down on the carbon emitting congestion of road travel. With the ongoing climate crisis it’s more important than ever to put this mode of transport at the forefront of people's minds. The trouble is, there’s been nothing modern about rail’s online customer experience… until now!  \n\n We are SilverRail, a global tech company delivering the digital infrastructure that opens up rail to the world.
