### 1/5 — Can’t login

*2026-06-04*

Always technical issues. Came even check train times.

### 4/5 — Seat change

*2025-10-13, version 4.62.0*

Constantly get error message when attempting to view or change seat

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all

*2025-07-29*

I’m sitting here right in the Edinburgh Waverley train station and the app won’t open. It tells me it works best when in the UK. It seems it doesn’t.

### 1/5 — Refund

*2025-01-02, version 4.56.0*

Still not received my refunded after train was delayed

### 2/5 — Buggy geo restrictions

*2024-11-28*

For whatever reason, the app limits features to when you are in the UK which is silly enough when planning but downright problematic as geofencing just doesnt work reliably. Sent from London where the app is telling me to wait till im in the uk to get my ticket

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-09-19*

App doesn’t work outside of UK, it also doesn’t work within UK while using esim. What a joke!

### 1/5 — You’re better off booking through the train line

*2024-08-15, version 4.48.0*

I contacted support when the far right racial tensions were rampant and escalating. For context, I’m a part of the community that was being targeted and attacked by the rioting activity and so it wouldn’t have been safe for me to travel to the north east.

When monitoring the situation, I made an exec decision to prioritise my safety and cancel my trip while the situation was ongoing and it was unsafe. I explained this to the operator which was already a vulnerable thing to divulge but it didn’t matter. I contacted their support team well in advance of the travel date expecting to be met with empathy  and was told they wouldn’t be able to refund me and my only option would be to spend more more to change my travel date. 

This was incredibly disappointing and a clear example of of they put profit over people. Given the extenuating circumstances and where I was due to travel to I was expecting to be met with empathy but they don’t care.
I’m £130 down for a trip I was unable to take due to no fault of my own. I’d suggest booking though a different provider that actually offers support to their customers.

This was my first and last time I spend money with this company.

### 1/5 — Discriminates against blind users

*2024-07-03, version 4.44.0*

I am visually impaired and use VoiceOver on my iPhone. I was not able to set up an account for this app this is therefore discriminatory against blind people. Perhaps they don’t want blind passengers. The could never pre-94:34 drinks and food anyway. 

They might be an open access operatir but the least they could do is have an accessible app.

### 1/5 — Sad traveller

*2023-07-14, version 4.38.0*

Absolutely horrendous buggy mobile app and web. Avoid by all means!

### 5/5 — Lumo

*2023-05-17, version 4.36.0*

This company is really afraid to say “we’ve got your money and we don’t give a 5hit if you travel or don’t”.
