Thanks

I am 70+ walking with stick, was hesitant to travel alone. Had a great experience with Chiltern Railway, just ask for assistance when reserving your tickets 🙏🙏🙏

Communication preferences link not working

In general I like the app but at the moment the Preference Centre link is not working. A bit ironic as it was highlighted in an email from Chiltern to me today!

No e-ticket or car parking options

It’s pointless advertising e-tickets on the website if they’re not available, either via the website or on the app. Also, would be nice to book car parking using the app but this isn’t an option either. Pathetic!

Terrible service

Always cancelling trains back from London. No replacement buses. 26/12/25. No advice of help from the staff. Disgusting attitudes from the staff and the whole of Chiltern railways.

Useless

The most infuriatingly poor app I’ve ever been driven demented by. Absolutely unusable.

Doesn’t track trains

Works ok except you haven’t been able to see where a train is on its journey for years. Repeatedly reported to Chiltern but they ignored feedback.

Sometimes works

Randomly doesn’t take Apple Pay. Stopped allowing e-tickets recently. Offers only pick up from machine so might as well buy from machine.

Name of 1 passenger?

Quick and efficient.

Realtor from California

Visiting from California for a Korean Skin Care event. First time in the train. It’s very clean and simple way to get around. I would definitely recommend getting g the app.

Love the live trains feature

Set up your favourite routes and see it live in seconds

NFC loading

Best feature is the NFC loading for smart cards and flexi-tickets - super convenient - shame about the trains like…

E-ticket preference

Every time I go to register an e-ticket preference in the App and then book a ticket the e-ticket preference is no shown and I’m only given the machine collection or postal delivery, both of which are no good for me as I travel from a station which doesn’t have machine facilities.

Chiltern railways best train operator in the uk

I personally think Chiltern railway’s are the best operator in the uk nice trains 165s 168s and 68s with the lovely mk3 carriages friendly drivers always on time can’t beat Chiltern railways good prices 5/5

App is unable to complete a successful transaction, terrible experience using this app.

Rey

Doesn’t work

Whatever train journey I put in it tells me there are no tickets or trains available. The Trainline app works fine. It’s just Chiltern that doesn’t work. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling, it still doesn’t work. Useless.

Amazing app

It’s so quick and easy yo use this app

Unable to purchase a return ticket on app

I’m not sure why I can’t purchase a return ticket on app. It only allows me to purchase one way. Then I have to queue a the designated train station to purchase a ticket upon return!

Fantastic App

No booking fees, can book with any train provider on this app! And the customer service team is great if you need to a refund or get compensation for delayed services!

Good as always

Cheap,quick and easy.
Not need more to be satisfied with the benefits offered by Chiltern Railway Company
