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.
the trainline - always reliable

Spent £180 and was decline a whole £2.70 for a genuine transaction. Would have barely covered the fee, so won't be using them again
Thanks for trying Quidco
Excellent apart from card processing fees.

Easy to use website, quick cashback tracking/payment. However, card processing fees for credit cards payments are high from memory at £3.50 per transaction.

Did not automatically track, so I had to make a claim which took almost 6 months until confirmed.
Very long for such a small amount of cashback.
Had to raise a claim.... Again!

The Train line does what it says on the tin. They also advise you of different days and times to save you money. I use the trainline every other week and am happy with their services.
Excessive VISA charge

Great retailer except for excessive VISA charge. Better than other train ticket services as you can easily book single tickets which are better value sometimes.
Tracking ok but website needs work!

Ordered 10 separate train tickets, but was given 10 separate booking confirmations so have to enter all 10 into the ticket machine now. What a waste of time. 1 code for 1 transaction would be better!
Booking Fee was greater than cash back

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.
Amazing

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.
Speedy

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.
Works every time

The train line used to be poor over a year ago a tracking the transaction. However that has all changed. Never had a problem with the tracking and the payments are made really quick.

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

Every time I purchase tickets they never show as tracked! Then when I raise a claim they decline it saying transaction cannot be traced, even though I gave them my purchase and order number!

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.

Though the amount is quite small percentage, the time taken for cashback is way long. The ticket delivery is very quick and the prices are competitive.

Bottom line is that Trainline has a simple to use webiste which gives you cheap pre-booked rail fares. The cashback seems to work well.

i've been a thetrainline customer for a long time now. i'm often frustrated with the UK train system and it's reliance on physical tickets but at least thetrainline makes getting them that bit easier.
