Extremely Bad

Fell for the con. Absolutely appalling. When I return to the US I will never tire of warning people to avoid at all costs.

Useless - App incompatible with older phones

Latest updates to this App no longer work on older iPhones rending apps useless as cannot continue to use older version of app!

Avoid

They are late so often and then make it so difficult to file your Delay Repay claim (with broken webpages, denial of claims for spurious reasons, etc). AVOID!

Spam

Just tried to look at my ticket in the app and got bogged down in a flood of marketing spam. @GWR - in case you’re not yet aware - SOME PEOPLE HAVE A TRAIN TO CATCH

Nice and easy.

But would be nice if you could book a train to and From Newbury rather than next station along
It would also be nice if your travelcard stayed on your profile
