Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Notes
Anyone who’s booked train tickets in the UK knows it can be a labyrinthine task. Am I buying off-peak tickets? What is off-peak? What is “super” off-peak? Am I getting the best deal? We were thrilled to have all this—and more—finally made clear as day by a souped-up Trainline app. It’s become as essential to our train travel as a fully charged phone battery.
Winning Winnie!
The journey was so tense and exciting racing in traffic towards my new adventurous life with my honeysuckle betrothed - finally someone who understood every fibre of my being - right down to my love for the very roots of Pooh bear. My heart pulsed vibrantly in my chest until I realised it was my electric toothbrush instead! Every nerve and cell was on edge and yet I could still enjoy zooming on the fast train across 160 miles of beautiful British countryside. Was my story going to end the same, burying my ashes of the past? As I searched the treetops for my titanium strength while my stomach lurched and my heavy chest felt like it was being cracked with a vice like retractor ripping my body apart. The pain was excruciating! How could I survive this? Stepping anxiously onto the bridge I caught his sweet smouldering eyes as they met mine and those dimples simply melted my heart and we zipped into the zip car of love . Trevor Noah - therapy for life! Woohoo! Love you darling!
Awful Customer Service and They Removed Free Exchange Policy without Notification
Trainline used to have a fee free exchange policy for advanced tickets but they secretly removed it in September without any notification on their website or on the app. I usually buy more tickets than I need for flexibility, and then change them the day before traveling if I don’t feel like commuting the next day. I found out this month that they are charging £15 per round trip for exchange and now I am forced to go into the office to utilize my tickets. Total lost is around £200.
You can’t even find their customer service email on their website and I had to find it via google. The team is obviously based offshore as all their emails were sent at 3am. They don’t have a complaint procedure and no matter what you say, their response is always a polite fxxx off.
The only reason I used this app and paid booking fee is because they provide free exchange, now that the policy is gone and I’ve had such a bad experience dealing with them, I will not use them again. I am sure there are some other apps that don’t charge booking fee and have lower exchange cost. TrainPal is a good alternative for now. I’ve told everyone around me about this and everyone who was using Trainline are switching to other apps like TrainPal.
Developer Response ,
Hello, thanks for leaving a review. To encourage passengers to return to rail travel after the height of the COVID pandemic, the rail industry introduced the “Book with Confidence” policy.
This enabled passengers to exchange their Advance Single tickets fee-free, should their plans change. The industry ended this policy in November 2022 however, Trainline made the decision to continue to waive the exchange fees for all Advance tickets until early September 2023. Those fees have now been reintroduced. Thanks, Jamie
