Best prices for train tickets
Really easy to use but you do need to make notes of the times to ensure you've got enough time to make connections! Take screenshots as you go if you want to look up a few options. It's not always easy to go back to previous options. Be careful to book seat reservations before you finalise your booking - you need to scroll down to find them.
Email confirmation is fast and etickets arrive at the same time.
Can be a bit confusing if you get multi tickets for one train - just make sure you save them all - you don't have to get off the train, just change tickets!
Prices seem really good as long as you book in advance.

Outstanding
I have used Trainsplit customer service several times - cancelled trips, mistake in bookings and industrial action all involving some kind of refund or rebooking. On all occasions they have been prompt, exceptionally helpful and sometimes arranged refunds to save me form filling online. I can't speak highly enough of the different people I have dealt with.
I do wish refunds was on the menu page, rather than having to search Google.

I made a mistake on booking a return journey which would have resulted in a 7 hour wait at the station, I contacted the Trainsplit Helpdesk (after hours) and explained with booking references. They replied first thing next morning explaining what to do, this resulted in me rebooking sending all the new details to them and my refund was completed in 10 minutes, excellent customer service.

Good, but watch out if you have to refund an Advance booking
There are many things to like about TrainSplit. Obviously, the main one is the very substantial savings that split ticketing can give. So far, I have only booked one journey with them, a Scotland to Wales one using three Advance singles. The website I think is excellent, and the e-ticket pdf includes a very useful summary page of the full itinerary and tickets. I imagine this would be especially useful in the event of disruption to one’s journey, e.g. when dealing with railway staff.
When I printed my tickets, I noticed that I had very stupidly booked on the wrong date, and as the one-hour grace period to cancel the ticket without penalty had elapsed, I needed to book a new journey on the correct date and then refund my original booking. This I did in the knowledge that I would forfeit a £5 fee for the refund. What I did not expect was that in addition to the £5 fee, TrainSplit also retained their “Share of savings” (i.e. commission), which amounted to a further £25 in this instance. Ouch!
I immediately queried this by email with their customer service team and received a very prompt reply from Jonathan, explaining that this was indeed their policy and pointing me to the relevant section of their Terms and Conditions. So basically, I have had to chalk it up to experience.
In summary, I can recommend TrainSplit with the proviso that should you need to refund a booking, you need to be aware that your financial loss will not necessarily be limited to the £5 fee. Take extra care to check your booking details are correct immediately after completing it and while you have a chance to cancel it without penalty.
I strongly believe that TrainSplit need to reconsider their policy and not retain their full commission in the event of a refund, perhaps capping the amount retained at a fixed sum or percentage. If they had kept back a tenner, I would probably have sucked it up, but keeping £25 does not seem justifiable.

Hi Nick,
Thanks for the detailed and balanced review, and for your positive comments about TrainSplit, the e-ticket itinerary and the prompt support you received from Jonathan.
You’re quite right to highlight the importance of checking journey details immediately after booking. For future-dated bookings, we provide a one-hour grace period so that errors spotted shortly after purchase can be cancelled without the normal refund charges applying.
It may also be helpful to add some context around the £25 Share of Saving fee in this case. This is separate from the face value of the rail tickets and is capped at £25, regardless of how large a saving TrainSplit finds. For your particular journey, the equivalent through fare was £380.20, while the total price paid through TrainSplit was £110.10, including the £25 Share of Saving fee. The saving on the original booking was therefore £270.10 even after our fee had been applied.
Share of Saving is the fee we charge for finding and providing that split-ticket saving. Where a booking subsequently needs to be changed or refunded for reasons unrelated to disruption, the service for which the fee was charged has already been provided, so the Share of Saving fee is non-refundable. This is set out in section 8.9 of our Terms and Conditions.
We understand your suggestion that there should be a separate, lower cap on the amount retained when a booking is subsequently refunded. Our model works differently: the Share of Saving fee is capped when it is charged and, except in the circumstances set out in our terms, is non-refundable.
We appreciate that the non-refundable Share of Saving fee made correcting the booking more expensive than you had expected. We’re pleased that you otherwise found TrainSplit useful, and appreciate both the recommendation and the constructive feedback.
Kind regards,
TrainSplit Customer Support

Hi Calvin,
As your review gives a rather different impression from the booking records, some context is necessary.
You made several separate bookings for travel around 31 August using the TrainSplit Android app and then submitted multiple refund requests under “disruption”.
For example, one journey was booked at 15:50 on 28 August for travel on 31 August. The itinerary you selected already showed a ScotRail replacement bus. Replacement bus services are clearly labelled as “Replacement Bus” in the TrainSplit Android app before a journey is selected and purchased. This is not information hidden in the small print or revealed after payment.
Your booking confirmation, delivered immediately after purchase, also specifically stated that you were booked on a replacement bus service.
Nevertheless, on 29 August, two days before that journey was due to take place, you submitted a refund request claiming disruption. When asked to identify the disruption, the information you initially provided was simply “31 August”.
You subsequently explained the actual issue: you did not want to travel because part of the journey was by replacement bus.
That is, of course, your choice. It is not, however, disruption. The replacement bus was part of the journey you selected and paid for in the first place.
You submitted similar “disruption” refund requests against several other bookings. We explained that we would consider any genuine disruption, but repeatedly selecting “disruption” on a refund form does not make a journey disrupted. We still need to establish what actually happened.
It is also incorrect to say that we “don’t refund tickets even if you ask days in advance”. The example above was refundable under its normal conditions until 23:59 on 30 August, subject to the applicable administration fee. What you sought instead was a disruption refund.
There is an important difference between refusing to refund tickets and refusing to classify bookings as disrupted when the evidence does not support that claim.
Your comments about our response times also omit that these requests were submitted over the Bank Holiday weekend and were answered on 1 September, the next working day.
Finally, we appreciate that “crooks” makes for a punchier review than “they wouldn’t give me the type of refund I asked for”, but it does not make it accurate. Nor is there any basis whatsoever for suggesting our positive Trustpilot reviews were written by staff.
We are quite happy for readers to consider the facts above and draw their own conclusions.

Pam in the customer support team was excellent not only did she sort my seating problem out but she did it in a friendly way & was very patient with was I am in my late 70’s and no way a computer wizz kid ! I particularly liked way we had a bit of banter which we bounced off each other without anyone getting offended, it made the whole process less of an ordeal and gives me a bit more faith in customer service, not that happens very often these days! Well done Pam !

What a breath of fresh air. Great app and brilliant customer service. Never using any other app for trains again. Ironically it was the train company who referred me to them when my question was too hard for them to be bothered with.
