Long time user losing patience
Conceptually love the app but don’t know what’s happened recently - you click on the day you want and it takes you to the day before or after and then it is a battle selecting earlier/later trains to get to where you hoped to get at the beginning of the process. Something ain’t right… which is disappointing because this is my go to for euro train bookings.
Love
I love using the Trainline to book my tickets. It makes it so easy. Love the App!
Cannot open ticket in app nor search
I thought this app would be great and instead it is frustrating. I booked trips online and the confirmation was emailed. The email had a link to open in the app, but it would not, only saying that I didn’t have any trips booked. And, there is no way to search using my confirmation numbers to add the trips manually. Seems like a major bug for UI.
No customer service
We are at the train station and need help, the station says that since I purchased from this company I must call this company. This company has no phone number to call for help. They have an email, but for immediate needs, email is them akin to snail mail, not possible. My advice is to just purchase your ticket through the national rail system for the country you are traveling through. This way, if / when issues arise, you can get immediate help at the station.
Some serious UX issues
First of all, the best value it provides is the convenience to buy tickets in the palm and seamless integration of payment with Apple Pay, and maybe discount tickets sometimes. But, it has a few serious UX issues need to be addressed. 1) unable to save companion passengers info. It becomes annoying that every search you have to reenter them. 2) it somehow saves the dates and stations of the last search, and if you are not being careful, you can end up buying the wrong tickets. It happened to us that we end up buying tickets at the spot in the train station, but the tickets are for two days later. Luckily the ticket inspector on the train gave us a break, and we just let the wrong tickets expire. 3) on the return trip, it tries to charge about 9 euros booking fee, so we went to the ticket office, and was able to save 30 euros. The train is about to start in 20 minutes, so ticket agent may be offering a discount, but this is not reflected on Trainline app. Anyways, I will not use this app anymore for spontaneous tickets. But it could be useful for planned travel when not in a hurry.
Fraud
Do not use it, the tickets I bought were invalid. And they do not provide refund.
Be aware about this app. Can let you with out your tickets in the middle of your trip
If you the app be careful. I bought my train tickets and in the worse moment in the middle of the trip block my user name. The result: lost of my tickets. Try to get in contact and no answer. So again be careful.
The little things matter All aboard for some bug fixes and improvements. Our weekly update sorts out a few back-end issues that were affecting our app’s performance.
