About - Train Hugger

Let’s start with Trees

Train Hugger and the Royal Forestry Society (RFS) have set up a tree planting grant for RFS members so we can plant more British trees all over the UK.

We’re planting trees you recognise close to where you live because we have the lowest tree cover in Europe. Climate change is coming and we need climate resilient trees.

Our Mission

To restore the British countryside by making it simple, and rewarding for individuals and businesses to book through Train Hugger.

For every booking, we'll contribute approximately a quarter of our revenue to restoring the UK's natural world.

Plant 2 million trees across the UK by 2030

Why Plant Trees?

This is why we do it etc Curabitur aliquet nisl

01. Climate impact

The right tree planted in the right place can remove one
ton of CO2 over 40 years. We will plant 20m trees over the next 5 years. 50% of the total government target.

We’re a sustainable business

We plant trees in the UK, but we also make sure to practise sustainability within our own company.

As part of the B Corps UK community, we commit to putting the planet’s health and people’s wellbeing at the core of our business.

Trainhugger is excited to be recognised as a “Pending B Corp” in our first year of operation. We look forward to joining Patagonia, Ben & Jerry’s and over 3000 other B corp businesses around the world in championing sustainability and climate action.

Can Train Hugger really make a difference?

Train Hugger’s train tickets are the same price as our competitors. So for no extra cost, you can make a difference.
And it’s a huge difference.

A simple switch can make a huge difference for no extra cost.

Before the pandemic we made nearly 1.6bn journeys by rail. If 50% of those had been booked through Train Hugger then approximately £400m would have been invested in the restoration of the British countryside, which is more than the Government’s entire annual budget for improving biodiversity.

And the best bit?

No compromise on booking experience. We've teamed up with Trainline who have the best technology in the business. In-app amends, split ticketing and everything where you expect it to be. All the features you’d expect, only with every booking you're doing good.

There's no reason not to. Tell your friends and start booking your train tickets through Train Hugger.
