This is the best one out there in terms of apps for finding out live train times. Its definitely the most user friendly and I have used on all of my phones since I knew it existed! (Although if you press back button on phone instead of back arrow on the app while selecting a station name it takes you back main menu instead of the screen you were on which is sometimes a little frustrating). I've found it displays the information clearly compared to other apps. Haven't used for buying tickets before though.

This is a great app, however, it has a few flaws. One of the issues I have is that you cannot delete your archived tickets meaning if you commute every week, like I do, you're stuck with loads of archived tickets. Also, it saves that I have a railcard, but doesn't save my NUS number. A couple of suggestions I would give is that there should be a way of choosing which seat you want as your reservation (like the website does) and also, the ability to order a paper ticket through your phone as well. Maybe also upgrading the app to look more like material to make it just a bit more smooth and slick. Other than that, perfect app!

I have started to use the xc APPlication due to GWR ruining their what was, brilliant. Xc, you need to offer nectar points. I really really hope you don't go down the same way as first group have gone, RUINED all of theirs. Please DON'T ruin this with a rubbish, pointless update, just cos the Tec people tell you it's good, this one works and works well.

Changes you NEED to make. When selecting a time if shows much earlier or much later times than selected. Does not show dates next to times so when moving around its difficult to be sure you've not moved to the next day. Back to point one You don't know if you've got a seat till after booking and don't know if it's for the return too. The confirmation before submit says nothing about the return time and date which you're booking Does not save your card details

Used to be awesome on my iPhone. For some reason on my Google phone it's saying I'm logged in do i want to update, so i say yes, then it says i have to login. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but same problem. Any idea what to do? Thinking maybe to do with my phone? When it's working it's great.

BRILLIANT APP THAT I JUST CAN'T FAULT BUT YOUR JUST MISSING A LIVE MAP OF TRAIN MOVEMENTS WHICH WOULD BE A GREAT FEATURE SO THAT YOU CAN SEE EXACTLY WHERE THE TRAIN IS.

Horrendous app to use from scratch. Couldnt sign up to get an account, generated a password to find it was too long, though not for any other website or app I use. Couldnt sign in and then couldnt sign up because I wasnt signed in. No option to buy tickets as a guest. Miss entered my payment details with no option to modify during the purchase process I had to start from the begining again. Use the website its easier.

David Kernaghan April 14, 2017

The only thing I can fault about this app is the ugly icon. The app is fast, accurate and does everything you need it to without adverts or having to pay a fee.

Sarah Hall June 8, 2017

It was advertised on the train I could reserve seats on this app, which you can't without buying a ticket. This app doesn't do anything that other apps like The Train Line doesn't do, except it looks worse and annoyingly flashes up a dialogue asking you if you want to return to the menu every time.

Todd Davidson January 26, 2017

Works okay, slightly annoying pop up asking if you want to return to main menu - but really needs to include calling points as on the website!

Turnip Turnip May 17, 2017

Installed this after GWR mistakenly updated their app to a horror show. This is just what I want: perfect. Don't change it!

Simon Woodward January 29, 2017

Great app, however to be perfect it needs the ability to reserve a bike space, or if that's not feasible, the ability to comment against a ticket so that the bike reservation number is in the same place as the ticket. Other than that it's great.

A Google User June 21, 2017

When booking a train you can't choose a seat, can't even specify window vs aisle. Given the website offers a full seat map with a free choice of any available there is no excuse not offering this on the app

Inka Pinka March 23, 2017

Dear developers, please read the reviews :) I want to add that app does give me coach, but not a seat (email confirmation did!). I also booked ticket from Southampton to Wolverhampton via Birmingham... app said Southampton to Southampton, change in Southampton towards Wolves. Got screen print if you'd like to see. Thank you

Patrick Cherry January 10, 2017

Patcherry Great app been using for over two years. Booked over 100 journeys and no errors.

Scott Anderton March 22, 2017

Usful to know the platforms especially for changes. - Reserve a bicycle option would be really useful.

Paul Phillips June 14, 2017

Avoid Cross Country like the plague, worst customer service I've ever encountered

TheGilgrissom May 10, 2017

Dont waste space on your phone just book online.They dont alliw any changes to tickets bought on the app.The whats new spuel is just that,,,,,,bullsh!t.Anoraks may love it,but not good for travellers.

July 21, 2017

Was using GWR App but as they've ruined that am now using this and I find it excellent, thank you

For the Old Version Clocks to small for Phones

Paul Do April 29, 2017

Nice for searching train

Ryan Souak December 18, 2016

Bad app This app is just like virgin trains and it sucks plz fix it I beg you!

bob bobber October 16, 2016

Doesn't work, simple as. Firstly wouldn't recognise password, when that problem was solved I got all the way through to payment confirmation, this took suspiciously long so I went to my account to see if it had gone through, it hasn't. I tried again & got through to completing payment but this time was told it couldn't be carried out, contact customer services. I looked for a number to call them on & they say it costs 7p a minute. Third rate joke of a rail company with third rate product.

Silver Wolfy August 19, 2016

Can't log in Think an update may be in order! Says my email or password is incorrect. I changed my password and tried again, didn't fix it. Also it would be nice to be able to download the journey plan on to your phone so you don't need internet to access it.

Rob Radcliffe July 18, 2016

No point Thought I'd be able to get e-ticket to avoid the harassment I get at Manchester Piccadilly from the fare evasion guy when my station ticket office isn't open when it should be but only option was to collect ticket from machine which is pointless in my case as station I commute from doesn't have a machine. Would be OK for advance journeys I guess but I'd use my account on the cross country website for that. Please catch up to the paperless 21st century!

Robert Whitehouse October 5, 2016

Initially unable to log in Excellent application on my tablet shame can't log in on my Samsung GALAXY S6 refused to take login details. Uninstalled app restarted phone and reinstalled app and it worked Must be a glitch

Σικανός October 1, 2016

Best Train App in UK Excellent. You can find timetables, stops, ticket prices, all the info you need to travel around UK. At times you can even get the plat number that is very useful if you are late. You can even purchase the tickets directly from here. Everything you need is here.

David Hartley June 24, 2016

Did love it Now I can't log in or connection to server is not available. Really poor and no one has any answer's as to what happens now

Iuliana Cosma October 20, 2016

The app is not working It doesn't allow me to log in, what's the point in buying online if I still need to pick up ticket from train station?

kaz Stark November 1, 2016

OK but can't delete old tickets Sort out a delete function for all old tickets purchased and are now used I've got loads from last year and want to delete them.

Matthew Little July 13, 2016

NUS extra discount is not working This discount works through the website but is no longer working through this app.

Kashmiri Jatt August 29, 2016

Noel Jones August 15, 2016

Hopeless Will not recognise my email address or password no option to reset.

Ryan Lothian July 7, 2016

Used to be great, now doesn't work at all Servers down?

Colin Stone June 24, 2016

Not working Does not work properly at all with WiFi or data

Mike Ralston September 3, 2016

Can't book more than 3 months in advance What's the point selling 'advance tickets' if you don't let people buy them?

Joshua Lill December 6, 2016

Fixed Just a temporary outage

Daniel Miles June 15, 2016

Can't login It was a great app but now for some reason I can no longer login. I have changed my password many time's but it's still saying that my email or password it wrong. Yet it send's a password reset request to the email that I use.

Steve Clarke July 5, 2016

## Charged and no ticket or refund Purchased an m-ticket which refused to download so couldn't travel. X-Country refused to investigate or give refund....strongly recommend not purchasing on this app.

ADEBIMPE ADEFUNKE METCALFE May 15, 2016

I ALWAYS GO WITH VIRGIN TRAINS

What's New

We’ve changed the way that mTickets work, you can now move mTickets from one device to another. Example: If you have an mTicket on your tablet you can release it, and then download it on your phone. Coming soon, you’ll also be able to purchase an mTicket on the website and have it delivered to the app.
