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.

This app and website seems a lot smarter than another one I have previously used that also offers split ticketing. It also allowed me to choose my seats from a seating plan travelling on Avanti West Coast. Their very reasonable small fee for this service means that it is just not worth going to the extra bother of leaving the app to book the split journeys elsewhere separately to avoid the fee. Any split ticket is no risk on a direct train, but if changing trains, don't miss the connection!!!

Yes it will save you a few quid! But you are completely screwed if one of your connections gets delayed and you're forced to take another route. The journey trainsplit sold me for £50 ended up costing over £300 because of a missed connection and because they are all split I can't even get delay repay from the train companies. I had to pay full price at the last minute for a different journey

What’s new

😌 You can now limit the maximum number of split tickets to use in our Advanced Options for a more straightforward journey. Keep in mind that changing this might limit the savings we can find you! 💸

🚌 Buying PlusBus? You can now see a map of your ticket's validity area.

🚉 We've also spruced up train diagrams in Live Times, adding names for each type of train under their carriage images.
