GWR is the best train in town

Slow, inconsistent

Frequently logs me out, often errors out at payment, and generally slow.

An error occurred

Unable to ever buy a ticket since it always says a technical error occurred. No idea why!

Bug with journey dates and ticket access

I booked a journey in June, which I then rescheduled for September. In the app the journey doesn’t show in upcoming, only previous journeys so I’m unable to access the ticket. I’m posting this review to make them aware and hopefully the developers fix this.
