Glad I chose to book with the trainline as I got a better deal than going directly to virgin, I was able to purchase a return to London with unlimited travel included for the tube. Tracking reasonable I suppose, purchased in January - paid in April.

I normally use the train company I am traveling with as the company I buy the tickets from. The train company in this instance did not charge a booking fee. I got £1.33 cashback but charged £1.50 booking fee. I needed to book another train journey and found trainline wanted £119 and the train company charged £89 and NO booking fee. Trainline are more expensive and charge you a booking fee which is greater than the cash back. Will not use trainline again.

The train ticket i purchased was not even tracked after the purchase, I have to raised a claim and eventually got rejected. Takes ages to verify and it's slightly pricier than other competitors. I thought it will worked out slightly cheaper with the cashback but without it definitely not worthwhile. Also, bear in mind with the booking fee.

Having never travelled by train to anywhere other than local i didnt know where to start booking a trip to London from Birmingham. It was so straight forward and pretty self explanatory using this website. Couldn't believe how cheap it was to get there and no hassle with trying to park. Will definately use the trains more often now ive used this website.

The Train Line is useless at tracking, and useless at claims. Use Virgin Trains instead (it has the same prices).

I used trainline for East Coast tickets and did do for ~8 months. It is much btter value going direct thru EC for no extra cc charges and ~£3 cheaper per ticket. Also EC rewards scheme gains better value in free tickets than the current trainline cashback value (1.5%). trainline customer service is "offshore" so any interaction is always difficult... getting a pre-booked un-collected ticket refunded is painful and expnsive on the 4p / min line, yet with EC direct (UK service centre) it is a breeze and a local rate number. I personally find the trainline website is easier to use than the EC website.
