## What is Train Hugger?

Welcome to Train Hugger, the UK’s leading green train ticketing app.

Whenever you book with Train Hugger, we plant a tree in the UK in partnership with the Royal Forestry Society. We’re planting trees you recognise in places that you’ve been to, in our bid to restore the British countryside.

The price is the same, the seat is the same, the journey is the same. You can easily find the best fares, use Apple Pay or PayPal, save e-tickets to your phone, make amends or ask for refunds, all within the app. You can even keep track of how many trees you planted.

Our customer service is on hand 7 days a week if you do need to talk to someone.

### 5/5 — the best UK train app

*2025-06-21, version 2.2.3*

I use TrainHugger for all of my rail bookings. It's very efficient and costs no more than the other apps in terms of booking fee. The bonus is they plant trees whenever you travel by rail. They also do special events like sponsoring the Massive Attack concert in Bristol, enabling a new wood to be planted and people to travel to and from the concert on special trains. Brilliant company, brilliant app.

### 5/5 — Everyone should be doing this

*2025-05-23, version 2.2.3*

I love companies with specific goals and objectives for their profits. This is a such a simple way to turn something mundane into real good.

### 5/5 — Cheaper than trainline!

*2025-03-28, version 2.2.2*

Love the Train Hugger app. Cheaper than Trainline, easy to use and plants trees as you tot up your journeys!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-01-19, version 2.1.11*

Easy to use and better prices than trainline. Love hearing when they plant a tree due to my bookings!

### 5/5 — Brilliant, simple & does good!

*2025-01-13*

Great App I I’m planting trees too. Fantastic

### 5/5 — Treeeeeee’s

*2024-10-06, version 2.1.9*

Aside from easy to use AND saving money on every journey, they plant a tree with every trip. Train travel is expensive but as an alternative to car travel with this incentive of a tree ‘I’m in’

### 5/5 — Plant trees, save time & money: what’s not to like

*2024-09-21, version 2.1.9*

As easy to use as Train Line and also plants a tree with every train ticket you buy. I love Train Hugger

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-09-02, version 2.1.7*

It works just as well as Trainline and cheaper sometimes and I love getting the email after my journey to say which tree has been planted and where 
Make a positive change today and download this app :)

### 5/5 — Best discovery yet

*2024-07-09, version 2.1.6*

I came across this company on Instagram, saw a raw footage clip of the founder(?) saying why he creates this company and I wholeheartedly agreed with everything he said and his vision stood for. I’ve bought several long train journeys through them now and it’s been like half the price of what I would usually expect to pay for that route and time of year - plus who doesn’t think we need more trees in the UK?

### 5/5 — Do the right thing

*2024-01-09*

Brilliantly simple app and doing the right thing by the planet. Double win!!
