Insanely incomplete info

This app does not tell you the route or the arrival time of the journey you purchased. It does not provide live updates for the trip when you look at your booking on the day. It does not even tell you when you have a connection; you’re apparently supposed to just intuit this?? Worst train app I have ever experienced.

Senior Railcard option doesn’t work!

For some reason the app does not allow me to add my Senior Railcard. I could add or remove any others (if I had them), but not this one. Seems a problem that should be fixed.

Caution altering purchase

Basket does not clear if you go back and change something so could have purchased £225 worth of tickets instead of £55.
