Horrible customer service and refund process

A.cork on

Ireland

I have used the app for years and it’s great to use but if there is an issue with your ticket and you need a refund it’s a terrible process and the customer service is terrible. I have waited two months and have still not received it. Trainline requires you to post the tickets that need to be refunded. My tickets were either lost in transit or something happened on trainline side. Because I this they have refused to give me a ticket even though the reason I needed a refunded was due to something wrong on there side. I also think it’s crazy to put the expense on the customer for postage when I’m already out of money from the tickets. This experience has really turned me off using the app.

Poor customer service

Cccc1234 on

Train cancelled. App and website won’t allow a refund. No phone number or customer service contact details on website. This is a scam site. BOOK DIRECT WITH TRAIN COMPANY INSTEAD

Avoid

My train was cancelled 2 months ago by the train company yet this app gave me updates that it was running on time, as originally scheduled. I was told at the station that I should have received numerous emails from the train operator of the rearranged time… no such update was passed on to me. Try another train ticketing app if possible. Id be hesitant to trust this one.

Not find limerick station

No Wallet support.

No wallet support. What is the point of an app that won’t give you a ticket.

Fantastic App

Absolutely fantastic app. Tickets can be booked in seconds rather than minutes. So intuitive to use. The best app of its kind.

Clean, simple, easy to use

Dasacht on

I found this app to be quite simple in its use, a good design that does not clutter the screen. All details are spaced out well for ease of reading and I was able to book my trains without issue
