I'm a student at university in Manchester, and I wanted to go home (West Sussex) for a few days when I had no lectures. So, I went to Manchester Picadilly Station Travel Shop - and left immediately! The queue was at least an hour long. I'd used Trainline a couple of times before to check times/prices, but I'd never booked online ...  Read the complete review

The Trainline as the name suggests is a site for buying train tickets. It actually makes this process quite easy. You can check the times and availability very easily by entering where and when and then go on to order if you wish. Screens and options are clearly laid out and very easy to follow. In the maze of today’s train ticket options it ...  Read the complete review

As a regular train user it pains me to have anything good to say about the vile Branson and his hapless, incompetent Virgin trains, but every time I have used trainline.com, I have actually achieved the objective of booking the cheapest possible tickets on the day I wanted. The tickets arrived quickly, and that was that. I have ...  Read the complete review

I have been using the train line to book my train tickets now for many months. I have always found their service to be reliable and easy to use. Input the station you want to set off from, the station you want to arrive at, the date and time of travel, railcards in your possession, send the information and sit back and let the site do the hard ...  Read the complete review

So I've been out all day and I was thinking why don't I look for train fares now. Well its just gone midnight and I thought a website would be able to give me a simple timetable and costing.... I was wrong. The internet is not a 24 hour shopping store to thetrainline.com. Instead there's a window from 6am to 11pm. Why can't I ...  Read the complete review

The trainline.com is run by Virgin and is a way of booking train tickets online, checking train times and prices with the minium amount of hassle. I've used it for about 6 months mainly to check up train routes , times and prices, I hadnt actually booked any thing on it till last week. The site is very easy to navigate, you can either ...  Read the complete review

I’m off to York for the weekend in about two hours! I'm all ready and decided to get one last dooyoo fix before I go. I thought I would write an opinion on the on-line ticket service thetrainline.com. I ordered my tickets for two adults return last week, slap bang in the middle of the fuel crisis. I was a bit apprehensive as to ...  Read the complete review

This opinion is going to be I suppose in 2 parts. This is the first part and the rest will be added in a few days. Im going to explain the brilliance of thetrainline.com service but as I only used it today i'll update the review when my tickets have come through as then i'll have an idea of the time it takes to receive the tickets. ...  Read the complete review

As far as I am aware, the trainline is the only online rail booking service which allows you to compare fares and book seats on all of the rail operators in Britain. Other operators do have online booking, such as Virgin Trains and GNER allow booking of certain fares online, but if you want a comprehensive way to check times and fares, ...  Read the complete review

Why can't thetrainline.com just do it's job and get me my tickets? About 75% of the time, it does just that. Five minutes spent selecting exactly which service I want and paying for it by debit card. The other 25%, well that's a different story. Wrong tickets. Wrong route. Wrong train times. No email confirming fastticket pin, ...  Read the complete review

I have found a legitimate way of saving money when buying rail tickets through TheTrainline.com. Instead of buying 1 return ticket, split the journey into a number of smaller portions and see if it is cheaper to buy a separate return for each portion. For example, the standard return fare from Reading to Stratford-Upon-Avon is £23.70 (or ...  Read the complete review

I have used thetrainline.com three times now. Each time I've used it, the tickets have arrived within three days. While I wouldn't recommend it if you're in a last minute rush, it is worth it if you plan a few weeks ahead. I have, this week, purchased a return ticket from Bristol to Wolverhampton for just £14.00 ...  Read the complete review

I ordered tickets off this site for the first time yesterday and it didn't actually save me money, they were still going to charge the same even if I have bought them at the station. Well they gave me a £1 discount so not to bad. But I recieved them this morning and everything seems fine with me. No details are wrong and I just hope ...  Read the complete review

How have you faired with buying train tickets on the trainline.com? my own experiences are somewhat mixed. I tried to book return tickets for a group of friends travelling from Newcastle to Sheffield, unfortunately with the trainline it appears that you cannot book more than 8 tickets at any one time, a bit inconvenient if ...  Read the complete review

A fantastic service that allows you to plan your train journey with any UK train operator and book your tickets online. The website is easy to use, just asking you to enter in the dates you want to travel and the time after (or before) you want to arrive (or leave). You then have the option of searching for certain ticket types or the ...  Read the complete review

I like thetrainline.com, mainly because I dont use trains that often (no no i have a point) Therefore I dont keep timetables around me, nor do i know the general times of trains, however this weekend i need to get from Urmston to a place called Horwich which id never heard of. I went to the trainline.com and it took me 2 minutes to get ...  Read the complete review

At first I thought that this website was an excellent way to sort out travel arrangements but recent experience has proved me wrong. I appreciate that there must be an immense combinations of ways to get between two places but why does the trainline not tell you the quickest, easiest or, more importantly, the cheapest route. I recently booked a ...  Read the complete review

Since its redesign thetrainline.com has improved no end. The powerful search engine is superb even if you're not actually buying tickets, but just planning a long journey for example. It also helps to know the prices, something other sites such as Railtrak don't give. They obviously had a lot of complaints as with the old site you ...  Read the complete review

Trainline is very easy to use - if a bit cumbersome. Even the most technophobic should be able to manage it. You can select origin and destination stations (or get help in identifying nearest station to destination), choose a time you want to leave by/arrive by and specify any stations you want to go through or miss. It can be a ...  Read the complete review

I have been a regular user ever since I started travelling regularly between London and Liverpool. Things I like about the trainline: -You can see all of the available trains on one screen, and select on price or time -On all occassions except one, they have despatched tickets at least a day before travel. -You can earn ...  Read the complete review
