One in four couples consider themselves incompatible travel partners

A survey of 2,000 people in relationships found 89 per cent have travelled with their partner and 23 per cent don’t think they’re well-matched on travel preferences.
Research commissioned by Railcard.co.uk and carried out by OnePoll asked partnered respondents about travel preferences and disagreements in relationships.
Top disagreements include where to eat, wake/sleep times, budget, length of stay, and itineraries, while additional friction arose over activities, music, travel timing, and sight-seeing plans.
Respondents reported clear upsides to travelling together, with 57 per cent saying it creates memories, 47 per cent enjoying having someone to talk to, 36 per cent feeling stronger emotional connections, and 37 per cent saying rail journeys boost connection.
More than half of respondents say being considerate and discussing priorities help couples cope, while Railcard.co.uk promoted the Two Together Railcard to save a third and enhance the journey experience.
