Cannot cancel a bid.

Personally don’t like the system, yet another middleman taking a cut..

If you bid on a train time, make sure it’s the right one..
:(.

Should be able to cancel around 2 hours before, or within 5 minutes or something to cover mistakes.

What a dreadful seat

I bought a first class ticket from Paddington to Bridgend on the 11:12 service. I am seated at the rear of the train without a window. At least if I had bought a seat from GWR, I could have chosen a true first class service. Seatfrog is such a sneaky, nasty app.

Innovation in UK rail fare upgrades !!

Best thing to happen to UK trains since coal.

You only bid what you want to bid and only pay if you win. It’s pretty simple.

No Apple Wallet compatibility

Tickets purchased using this app don’t have an option to be added to Apple Wallet, which makes it a poor platform citizen.
