We took a train from Rugby to London Euston, the train was on time, there were a few delays in between, but it wasn't major. The seats are well kept, the information on the display boards are good, he... See more

Pointless
Already paid a 59p charge to use them then booked singles instead of returns my fault I admit but costing me a lot more now i have bad eyesight and website isn't very clear then spent 20 mins online trying to change it finally called them waited on hold for about 15mins for them to tell me nothing they can do. Will not use them again find it kind of pointless anyway tbf
It was easy to sort out my ticket
It was easy to sort out my ticket. And my senior rail card discount. All the information in the app. Made everything simple and helpful. Especially when it was time to show my ticket.

Bring back online tickets
Whenever I book train tickets, I usually get it online to use quickly on my phone. However, these days, I have to collect from the station which makes it inconvenient most of the time.

It's easy to find a train for the time you want, then book it. If you need a return train it finds the cheapest train around the time you want.
Very poor.,
No transparency on seat reservations
My pregnant wife and I booked a train from London to Glasgow on Trainline, only to find that we only had seat reservations from Penrith onwards... On a packed train that meant my wife was facing three hours of standing up in the aisle. No warning whatsoever on the app, we met another couple with the same problem and the train guard said it happens on every train he's on! Very poor UX from Trainline.
Luckily our trainguard on Avanti West Coast was an absolute legend and sorted us out with seats in first class - excellent customer service in contrast to Trainline!

I find it so easy to book my train journeys on Trainline. I travel by train because it trashed less time than driving! Thank you, Training!
Waste of time and money
Do Not Use. Customer Service is horrible and website is not intuitive. I was promised full refund via their clunky booking instructions but they kept $89.
I find it really hard to book trains…
I find it really hard to book trains and make my way around all the internet stuff but I feel it was really easy and I've got myself sorted for a return ticket so I'm happy very easy to work your way around I'm 63 and not a very internet I faith but I'm going to do it
Refused my refund, gaslit me that I didnt phone them - TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE
What an experience to get shafted by trainline. I bought the tickets, showed up to my destination fine. Scanned it, I had shown up a week early.
Sure, it was my mistake I completely own up to it. The station made me buy a ticket for the correct date, so i no longer needed my incorrect, week-from-now ticket. So i call trainline to get it refunded.
They wanted to see the new tickets I purchased, so they made me take a picture of them and then attach them to an email. Thats fine, simple enough.
They said I would receive a refund and an email receipt confirming my refund.
It has been 2 weeks trainline. No response, nothing. Apparently all record of that first phonecall is gone. They refuse to refund me for tickets I dont need.
Lesson learned! ONLY BUY FROM CARRIERS OF THE STATIONS THEMSELVES!!
Awful
Booked a train for my 5 year old son and I to travel to Carfiff for a Monster Jam event. It was a multi train journey from Okehampton. My son is very nervous and it was hia first time on a train. We were not given a chance to reserve a seat through trainline. For the majority o the journey, my son and I had to sit on the floor. We paid the same high prices as everyone else on the train, but were not able to have a seat. So I assume trainline sell tickets knowing there it is overloaded. Speaking to other passengers, it seems this is fairly standard.
Trainline App
I highly recommend the Trainline App as it is easy to use and you can book your tickets well in advance
I find Trainline very easy to use and it's efficient
I find Trainline very easy to use and I'm a very happy repeat user. 🙂 it's so easy to select your train and complete the booking on the app
Quick easy and fair price
