Ratings and reviews

Used the app on a recent trip to the UK (I'm from the US). I was able to easily take trains around the UK including stops in Edinburgh, Liverpool, Leeds, and London. Easy to book tickets and select seats. Had some small troubles finding tickets after buying them but quickly got used to where things could be found. Will definitely use on my next trip.

Pretty decent app generally but I do find it frustrating that from purchasing a ticket it takes several clicks to get to the QR code for the barrier. Considering how often people buy tickets right as they arrive at the station and are trying to get through the barriers, having to click on "my journey" then the "eTicket" button to show the QR code is a little frustrating every time, especially if you're running a little late for the train. Show the code at confirmation for a 5* review

It keeps signing me out mid journey and in areas of low signal cannot sign back in again - so cannot be trusted for train tickets unfortunately, use this app at your own risk of being caught without a ticket by revenue protection Also does not list all ticket options (no advances for Thameslink for example) meaning you can end up spending more here
