Once purchased, the ticket is great. However, using your app is very difficult!! and if you make an error it makes you start all over. It's very frustrating when you put in all of your information according including your credit card information and then it will not accept your credit card and you have to start you. With a whole different credit card, not sure why it won't take my credit card when I have plenty of balance

Hi Deborah, I'd recommend uninstalling the app, restarting your device and reinstalling the app. If this doesn't work, I'd suggest speaking to our Customer Service team. You can find their contact details here > http://bit.ly/2GaiVTC. Thanks. Lorcan

Recent UI changes have made this app a pain to navigate. Used to be simple, open the app and search for a train with the date. Now it shows all the updates for current trains. If I want to book for the future, which I think most people do, it adds an unnecessary layer. When I click the NOW icon on the favourites section it should have the option for the date, not just the time. So close to being convenient.

Despite the dodgy fees, false fares and 'admin charges', this used to be, at the very least, a good way to buy tickets quickly. Slick UI and easy to use. Customer support is typically helpful as well. Now, it just doesn't load. Constant crashes and slowdowns since the recent update. Not that it ever ran all that well. Frequently would end up in trouble on a train when the app simply wouldn't load my tickets or decide to close, making for many uncomfortable journeys.

Hi Callum, I'm very sorry to hear that and thank you for your feedback. I'd recommend that you're running the latest Andriod version as this could help with any crashes or slowing down. Any fee that you're charged is clearly stated on our website and we don't sell tickets for trains that aren't confirmed by the operator. Thanks ~ Dylan
