Ratings and reviews

EDIT: Aside from bike reservation, only issue is railcards, we have a 16-25 and 26-30 railcard, and it is impossible to book seats together. Best train ticket app out there. Reservation flow is simple and works a treat, and sometimes gives you significant savings through split ticketing, all with no fees, letting you use it for all your normal tickets too. Only downside is the lack of cycle reservations. The seat reservation + payment failure issue mentioned in other reviews has been resolved.

After some time, I got used to the interface in buying tickets. Would prefer if the option to filter trains can be done with lesser tap, and if I can see more trains for my selection (best is ifnit just shows until the end of the day, and I don't have to keep tapping "see later trains"). Would prefer if it can buy overseas train tickets too (but I understand that might not be the intention of this app).

I'm getting repeatedly inconsistent ticket price information on the app. One search gives me one price, another search gives me a different one. It's also giving me journeys that cross London and are way more expensive, but not the journeys that don't and are cheaper.

What’s new

🛑 We've made some improvements around disruption information within the app, making it clearer when cancellation of a service's stops shouldn't affect your journey.

🛜 We've also made some improvements to how Railcards load on poor data connections, preventing you from seeing loading spinners when you haven't opened your Railcard recently.
