I’m likely to get a dose of reality although I have an idea for a product yet have little technical knowledge. I would of course be more than happy to learn how to code/use existing tools to create a MVP, although I suspect there is a roadblock. So, my idea is to create a platform where travellers can book UK trains and rooms for UK hotel chains as packages together. So far, this is something that does not exist – or has at least not been done very well. My idea is to essentially allow a traveller to book their trains and hotel as one booking, paying together. The most difficult part of this would be to have access to the systems of Network Rail, Premier Inn, Travelodge etc. From what I can see, Trainline is the only successful company to do this – which of course was the idea of Virgin. I’m interested in the thoughts of any tech wizards if they are out there. I’d love to dedicate years on this and find the right people, although I fear the access to the booking systems is an irremovable object and so wanted to throw it out there for thoughts. Please be kind 😉
