### 5/5 — Favourite ticket app

*2026-09-10, version 3.49.0*

There’s one thing I would change, but lots of things I like about this app. 

First, the thing I would change would be to be able to manually expire one month return tickets when I’ve used the return portion early. 

They sit in my current tickets even though I’ve used the return part by the end of my weekend visits. I visit the same place on different weekends and use different train operators, so not always sure which ticket have been used.

I still like to use this app regularly as I can search trains and buy tickets easily. It remembers my rail card and it gives me Virgin points.  

It also offers me the amount of discount related to my total points but allows me to choose how much discount to apply in order to not use all my points at once.

It saves my tickets and stay in my tickets list til the one month return date expires.

### 1/5 — Train travel with points

*2026-07-24, version 3.48.0*

Following all the steps & still unable to buy train tickets with points. Keeps sending me back to buying & earning points which I don’t want. A complete waste of my time trying to

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2026-05-02, version 3.46.0*

Only reason to use it is to get Virgin Points but this has to be juggled with Virgin Red app. Also it’s not available on a desktop or laptop.

### 5/5 — Easy to book

*2026-03-05, version 3.45.0*

Good system easy to book and pay

### 4/5 — Good, but needs one small fix.

*2026-02-28, version 3.44.0*

I hope the developers see this. I like the app, but I have one request for improvement. If I buy return tickets for two people and save them (4) to my wallet, and then send one pair to my partner (go and return) the e-tickets in the wallet are difficult to tell them apart. Sure, there are two outward tickets, and two return tickets, but the two outward tickets look identical to each other, as do the two return tickets. It is therefore difficult to check that we don’t both carry the same tickets once I’ve shared them. This would cause problems at the barrier. 
Sharing from the app does not put them in the wallet. 
I hope I’ve explained adequately!
…The developers have promised to consider this request so I’ve added a star to the rating. Just one more to go!

### 5/5 — Very Good

*2026-02-13, version 3.44.0*

The best rail ticket app I have used with a decent Live Departures function. Would be great to have an iPad version so you can use it on both types of device.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-02-01, version 3.44.0*

As a frequent train user it’s great to be able to earn points from my train tickets

### 5/5 — Straight away

*2025-12-04, version 3.43.0*

Amazing app….. got me the cheapest first class tickets

### 1/5 — Poor service

*2025-11-09, version 3.42.0*

Regularly books the wrong train time. 
Cancellation button directs to a 404 error. 
Help pages give incorrect information on exchanges (at least insofar as the support staff claim the processes are not as described online).

### 1/5 — The app where you can’t but tickets

*2025-08-23, version 3.41.0*

Far too often, you search for a ticket, select the price you want and move to the next screen. Inevitably the price rises by a few quid (why?) but even if this is acceptable to you (feels like you are being played here), suddenly the app is “unable to provide this fare”.
Awful to be honest and even 2 stars feels generous.
