Top reviews

Only see Advert

Just downloaded, tried to open several times and it freezes on initial railcard advert

Perfect

Moving towards technology, the E Tickets are a wide step into the right direction. Makes life less stressful.

Brilliant app

Easy to use, cheaper than trainline

Doesnโ€™t Work

Unable to get past the first advert screen. Screen frozen. Have deleted the app and updated on numerous occasions and still canโ€™t get beyond the first screen.

Transferred from ScotRail

Perfect, simple and easy to use. Does what I need, good functionality perfect. Please donโ€™t change to the ScotRail style app

So buggy

Never write reviews but downloaded today and canโ€™t get past opening screen no matter what I try to do. Device restarts, uninstalling, the lot.

Easy to use and efficient

I donโ€™t use many apps and donโ€™t live in Northernโ€™s area, but have always found this one very easy to use when visiting

Absolute D0gsh1t!

The app crashes every time I try to register for an account so I canโ€™t buy any tickets. I tried 5 times and all I get is โ€œOops something went wrongโ€โ€ฆ.very helpful! I also noticed on one the screens that I canโ€™t change cookie settings, it just doesnโ€™t do anything at all whereas all the other settings opens a Northern Rail website screen where things can be changed. Itโ€™s almost as if they want to retain control of cookies themselves ๐Ÿค” - this doesnโ€™t surprise me as I wouldnโ€™t trust them as far as I can throw them.
Northern Rail are a notoriously bad train operator and seemingly canโ€™t build an app that works properly either.

Dire

Nothing in this works. Live departures, my tickets all give a stupid error message. โ€˜Oops something went wrong โ€ฆโ€™ - deleting. Lose the oops. Itโ€™s amateurish & highly irritating.

Great - cheaper than Trainline

Easy to use and no booking fees unlike competitors

Simple, easy to use, works

Thank God for Northern Rail! Iโ€™m a ScotRail exile who was trying to avoid Trainline fees when someone recommended this app. Itโ€™s exactly the same as the old ScotRail app and ot works. Phew!

Better than the bus

Straightforward to use. Whoever developed this app should go and sort out the garbage at HMRC online

Absolutely useless

Iโ€™ve spent 30 minutes trying to get this to open. Reinstalling etc However the app isnโ€™t compatible with IoS and the pop-ups keep freezing the entire thing. I suggest using the traditional website.

Great App

I use this app for all train bookings as it is so easy to use.

unreliable platform

I have to be honest, your service is very below average, you canโ€™t plan & execute your journey peacefully, always delays, cancellation without apology or refund. I canโ€™t rely on this platform to commute to work, I lost job due to incessant complaints of train delays.

Quick & Easy

Just booked advance tickets for next week, was offered various options - it was quick and easy to book & pay for my tickets

Doesn't work

Nothing is clickable. I can't do a thing.

Please fix your app

Railcard ad keeps being stuck on the screen when you open. No way to close the ad so I canโ€™t use your app. Please fix the issue itโ€™s been like this all through July.

Shocking

App is unresponsive Thurs 23/07/26

Unable to use

The app is stuck in the enable notifications screen and will not progress beyond this.
