Algorithm.
Ticketclever try to use analytics and data science to try and find the lowest price. Ticketclever employed three Oxford University alumni, two with Doctor of Philosophy in Particle Physics, one with a Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering Science to create an algorithm that filters data sets from the Rail Delivery Group, which represent 25 train operating companies in Great Britain that are responsible for running trains and setting the price of the fares. ticketclever uses this algorithm to find multi-ticket fare deals on Great Britain’s railway network.

Ticketclever is able to issue refunds in accordance with the National Rail Conditions of Travel if the circumstances allow for a refund. The eligibility to change or cancel tickets varies depending on the type of ticket purchased.
