Queuing at the station and printing out tickets can be a pain, especially if you’re embarking on a long journey or you’re in a rush. Why not use your phone to book train tickets via our app instead? Simply scan your ticket at the barriers or show a member of staff to enter the platforms.

Once downloaded onto your phone, you don’t even need an internet connection to access your tickets. Skip all the fuss and climb straight aboard your train.

Simple booking process

You’ll save time searching for the best fares and waiting at the ticket office when you buy train tickets on your phone. You can book tickets as little as 10 minutes before departure or choose from hundreds of available train journeys across the country up to six months in advance.

Not only that, but you can manage your booking in real-time from your mobile. Change and save your travel preferences, such as the type of seating and proximity to toilets and luggage racks. You’ll also have the ability to modify your ticket if your plans change. You can change the date and time of your travel or get a refund all from our train ticket app.

Live times and travel information

We provide live train times and updated travel information through our train ticket booking app, so you can stay in control of your journey. Say goodbye to surprise disruptions and late trains – you can check the progress of your train and expected arrival times before you even leave for the station.

Simply click ‘Journey details’ and look at any adjusted departure or arrival times at any of the stops along your routes. It makes planning any connecting travel far more convenient.
