The Run2Rail desk
Editorial, Run2Rail
Run2Rail is written and edited in-house. Routes are covered end to end across operator boundaries, which is where the errors live: the connection that looks fine on one operator's site and is not sold by the other, the pass that covers the train but not the reservation. Journey times and reservation requirements are stated per leg. Timetables, reservation rules and pass conditions are checked against the operating railways and the pass issuers, and re-checked at the December and June timetable changes, when large parts of the network move. Where something has not been verified, the page says so rather than repeating a claim we cannot stand behind.
Editorial standards
- No paid placements. We do not accept payment for a placement, a ranking or a favourable review. Where a link earns a commission, the page carrying it says so.
- No untested claims. We do not say we have tried something we have not. Prices and plan details supplied by a provider are labelled as indicative rather than presented as our own findings.
- No page for the sake of a keyword. A destination gets a page when there is something specific to say about it. That is why the site is small.
- Corrections are made in public. A factual fix is applied to the page and the update date changes with it.
