Further to my previous posts, see below, this app now wants to know my age and those of my companions. This is crazy, I only want to buy a railway ticket! Time to close the account I think. Other issues: preferences no longer saved, itinerary for a journey doesn't show times of arrival or departure for each leg, slow to load and often crashes and the fact this used to be free, now we have to pay an Admin booking fee and in addition we get ads too.

old interface worked better. they "refreshed" the look and it just stopped being simple. it used to say when I can use same ticket, if it was off-peak or so, its not so clear anymore. to see my progress on the way of my train I can only check it by pop up notification in -my ticket- section but it doesn't always pop up and then it doesnt work correctly. Doesn't show the best route usually. it helps me in travel but ngl i gotta bend over backwards sometimes to get what I need from this app

Slow to load purchased tickets. The app Devs need to learn what the word cache means. Tracking is faked, and shows trains having passed through stations they haven't. Forces advertising overlays into key stages of the purchasing process. Naga you to add "insurance" to your purchases. All signs of a ticketing platform that has long since lost its way
