The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has launched an investigation into Trainline regarding transparency issues around its booking fees, scrutinising whether customers fully understand the fees charged when purchasing train tickets.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Travel Tech, and 2 sources have reported it.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must review how you disclose fees to customers or risk losing access to UK travel markets. Regulators are tightening rules on transparency, so your pricing must be crystal clear or face investigations.
