Ratings and reviews

The idea is good but the implementation is clunky in places. Can offer absurd itineraries for tiny savings which it's easy to click on by accident. Needs some kind of "common sense check" built into the algorithms that compares time spent versus money saved. A quick buy function would be useful for repeat purchases to save going through the journey planner each time. (Original review amended as customer service issue resolved promptly)

Before I bought tickets I had a query and customer services came back promptly. Booking tickets was quick and easy. It came up with a better fare esp for the train we really wanted to get back from Paddington to Cornwall after medical appointment. Lot cheaper than trainline even using their split ticket option. No e-ticket option only paper but picked up tickets 1 hr after booking. App is a bit odd as journey details only give outbound details. Adding railcard into user account is impossible.

UX is bit lacking in some situations but by far the best amongst the trainsplit services. I understand it takes time and recourses to maintain such app therefore pace your self, and do not abandon it. Keep up, listen to your customers, and keep doing great work! 👍
