RAILAGENT.COM PROVIDES NEW SOURCE OF RAIL TICKETS AND PASSES FOR TRAVEL AGENTS

Web Site Offers Travel Agents with Low Prices, High Revenues,

Instant Commissions and Proprietary Travel Planning Tools for Selling Rail Trips

Newton, MA - July 11, 2005 - Wandrian, Inc (www.wandrian.com), a leading global technology and travel distributor for rail products and services, today announced the launch of a new web site, www.RailAgent.com, as a valuable resource for home-based and independent travel agents to help clients plan their trips and buy rail tickets and passes.

RailAgent.com will provide not only more rail products than any other distributor in the US or Canada, but some of the lowest prices in the market - allowing travel agents to keep the fees for themselves that they are typically charged on other sites, or pass on the savings to their customers.

Using RailAgent.com, agents will receive instant commission checks, and no longer have to wait weeks or months to get paid, since checks are sent with each order. With lower prices, instant commissions, and the ability to keep the fees for themselves, travel agents have the ability to earn more revenue selling through RailAgent.com than with other online rail solutions. Plus as an incentive to try this new website, agents will receive an additional $10 bonus for every rail pass sold until the end of August 2005.

In addition to helping agents earn additional revenue, RailAgent.com also includes RailSaver, the only online tool available to help agents optimize travel planning for clients by calculating the best combination of passes and tickets for any itinerary.

"Until now, the travel agency community was not well served with existing technology or tools when it came to selling rail," said Mike Fuller, President of Wandrian, Inc. "We have designed RailAgent.com around the specific needs of the travel agent which means better planning tools for creating rail itineraries, and faster revenue generation through instant commission checks, to make selling rail as easy and as lucrative as selling air, cars and hotels."

"This is a great site for the home-based and independent agent," said Paula Caldwell of Diodute Travel. "I'm happy to have found a rail site that allows the agent to manage their own commissions without having to split the fees. I also like how much easier it is than other sites to find what you are looking for, such as point-to-point fares."

Major benefits of RailAgent.com for Travel Agents include:

. Instant commission checks sent with each order; travel agents keep the fees
. RailSaver - free, powerful online rail planning tools to determine best travel itinerary
. Live connectivity to European railroads
. Same day processing and free shipping
. Rail passes to Europe, Australia, New Zealand
