Hi Jude,
Thanks so much for your feedback. We are pleased to hear you rate our service highly and found booking easy. Regarding changing seats, unfortunately, the train operators make it difficult to ensure this doesn't happen when you change your tickets. If you contact us before your journey, we can ensure you don't have to change seats.
We look forward to saving you money on your train tickets again soon.

Saving as you travel

Tickets bought on this sight can be bought in advance
with a small or larger saving compared to the station. The site is easy to navigate and to choose time to set off or return. Tickets are available on your phone or you can print. All done at your convenience prior to travelling. A good experience and did I mention you can save too. Flexible tickets if you really need them.
I couldn't book seats on my journey but there is a way to do this on most trains. Happy travelling

Makin sense of train fares

The fares on British railways are indecipherable. How fantastic that Split My Fare understands it and can work out the most cost-effective way of travelling by train

Great deal on Train Tickets

Your site offers excellent train tickets deals compared to other platforms. Train tickets in the UK are significantly exorbitant than in Germany or Italy for the same distance, thus your service is valuable. You are helping thousands of people to use trains with your great deals. I would have used my car if I had not found your site, as it helps me save money compared to the cost of train tickets.

Awesome

Cheapest quote from National Rail was £99 per ticket. Someone suggested I try SMF and got the same journey for £43 per ticket. Awesome!!

Great price but….

Great price but the down side was multiple changes of seat & sometime carriage as well at every split ticket even though it was the same train right through. Also I booked 2 tickets but we were not sat together.

Hi Maryon,
Thanks so much for your feedback. We are pleased to hear you rate our site so highly.
Unfortunately the train operating companies like to make it difficult for people who are saving money by splitting their tickets and as such their seat reservation systems sometimes change the passengers seats, when each ticket changes.
We always ensure passengers are sat together, this would only not be the case if there wasn't the availability for passengers to sit next to each other.
If you find that you have to change seats or in the rare event you aren't sat together, you can contact us before your journey and we will amend your seat reservation.
We look forward to saving you money on your train tickets again soon.
