Why doesn't it show journey anymore when you tap 'show journey' instead it shows a pop up on how "split save" works???? I didn't ask about that. I wanna see my journey, platform and timings etc. You have to refresh the app a random number of times for the "live tracker" to show at the bottom of the screen to show your journey. It's getting to be a bit too annoying to use now.

I used to love this app, and now, I face it with irritation... in previous app versions, when I bought a ticket, I could go to My Tickets, click on the View Journey CTA for the relevant ticket and precise timings and platform information would come up, just like when you search for journeys. Now I'm getting zero info on platforms and have to click through multiple search walls before I find my journey's RELEVANT info... Will change this review if the app once again becomes customer centric...

Simple return journey between two UK cities. I put in the dates of travel at the beginning and they were correct. The app stalled "Trainline is not responding" at the payment stage, so I had to reopen it. Using a different payment method on second attempt I managed to complete the purchase. When I checked the tickets, only SECONDS later, I saw the return date was incorrect. Presumably the glitch had caused that. Trainline did enable me to change it, but charged me £25 for correcting their error!

Hi Kay.
Sorry to hear this.
Journey details are based on customer selections, so when the search reset you may have had to re-enter your travel info.
Changes can involve fees although, if there's been an error it's best to contact our Customer Service team to see if anything else can be done > http://bit.ly/2GaiVTC
Thanks,
Andy
