## Virgin Train Tickets App Reviews in United Kingdom

### ****- "Need more work"
Despite its great reward scheme, the app itself isn’t that mature yet. I buy open return tickets everyday and yet everyday I need to select it again because it gets reset to single. To/from fields have memory but not the ticket type.
-- Amir Sk, 2024-12-03

### *---- "High prices"
Try to encourage you with Virgin points offered, then offer much higher prices than Trainline. Return tickets for 2 adults from Manchester to Euston with railcard, £114 on Trainline, £141 on Virgin app.
-- Kend1968, 2024-11-30

### ***** "Very good"
Very good app, easy to get tickets, like that you earn points, easy to get a refund should you need to, user-friendly and easy to navigate, able to reserve seats even though not booking directly with the train operator, payment is fast and easy too. Live departure information is good too - shows destination and stop you’re going to more clearly.
-- Rishio2, 2024-11-23

### ***-- "Room for improvement"
Not a bad app and one I have been regularly been using over the last few months and will still use.

Pro:
- Able to collect Virgin Red rewards for flights, cruises, free tickets etc.
- The split ticketing feature actually works well compared to others. Quite often (not guaranteed) that I get the same seat reservation for the whole trip. Something a lot of competitors struggle with.
- No booking fees

Issues:
- Unable to bulk book tickets. Meaning that when I book my next month of commuter trips I have to book individually.
- If I change the day on outbound, the return time resets to 1 hour after outbound. Just makes it an annoyance when I’m looking to book multiple tickets for same time across multiple days.
- No web portal available to use on the computer.
- I’ve seen at times certain train times disappear from the list as I move towards earlier or later. Something I can fix by going back to search and look at timing. 
- Rare issue but be good to flag before purchase if I have to collect tickets from a different station because no machines operate at station. Learnt the hard way and had to get a refund.
-- Chris5596, 2024-11-15

### ****- "Good App however needs iPad capability"
I like the app and how you can book and earn points. Would have earnt 5 stars however I wish the app was compatible with an iPad as well as offered E-tickets for ScotRail journeys (ScotRail app does it so it is possible).
-- ForsythA, 2024-09-29

### **--- "What am I missing"
I cannot see how to book advance purchase first tickets for specific trains. Only first available is by choosing flexible fares and the fares rise
-- Antipest, 2024-09-17

### ***-- "Phone number is used for something else"
Almost instantly at sign up, the user is told their phone number is needed for verification purposes and nothing else. But then 1 screen later, you have to check a box to not receive marketing via SMS. This is a misleading user experience.

I’ve also been asked 3 different times at sign up now if I want to be emailed about special offers. No means no?
-- UnreachableCode, 2024-08-22

### ****- "Points for Trains"
Great that I can collect points just for booking my
Regular work travel anyway!!! 
To get a 5 star I would just love an “add to calendar” option like train line offers… so my train times can be put straight into the iPhone calander instead of my having to manually add to my diary! Thanks
-- Benblore87, 2024-07-06

### ****- "Decent"
Pretty good, my only nag is the journey tracker should be at the forefront of the app and automatically load up my current booking and refresh, a bit like trainline.
-- iResurrect, 2024-05-12

### ***-- "Ok but tweaks needed"
1) please can the app remember my travel card so I don’t have to add it each time

2) please can it the tickets be added to Apple Pay with more ease , I.e. in bulk for a split save return rather than 4 adds

Thank you

Other than that a nice design
