Booked a quick trip to Brighton with a hotel and the train on the same page. It's a good shout if you can't be bothered comparing prices, though the hotel options were limited and I'd have liked more choice. The booking went through fine and everything came in one email.

Compared it to the big comparison site I normally use and this was much less cluttered, you just see what you need. Booked a trip to Cardiff for my mates and it kept all the details in one place. Would do it again.

I booked a train from Glasgow to Manchester and the time on my confirmation didn't match the one I'd picked on the site. Emailed them and the reply took two days, which meant I had to pay again to get on an earlier train. Bit gutting for a first go, and I'm not sure I'll bother next time.

I used to just pick the cheapest one on the big aggregator but this one shows you the connections more clearly. Booked a day trip to Oxford with a change at Reading and the timings were right on the nose. Quick to pay and the tickets were in my wallet straight after. Way less faff than before.

Honestly this is the best way I've found to book a weekend in the Lakes without it turning into a nightmare. Took about ten minutes, the train times were all there and the hotel bit was easy to add on. Would use again for sure.

Needed a train to Bristol tomorrow morning and booked it on my phone in the queue for coffee. Done in two minutes, tickets came straight through. Nothing to report, works fine.

I needed to get up to Glasgow to see my sister after her operation and wanted something booked without fuss. The booking was simple enough and the tickets were sent to my email well in advance. Very grateful for it.

Compared with the big comparison site I normally use this was a lot less cluttered and I found a Leeds to Bristol return with one change much faster. The only niggle was that the seat reservation step was a bit fiddly on my phone and I had to go back twice before it accepted my choice. Once that was sorted the tickets appeared in my account and I had the QR codes on my phone before I'd finished my tea.

I needed to get home for my nan's birthday and was too skint for a full fare. Found a cheap way to get from Sheffield to Liverpool and it was quick to book. First time using it so I was a bit nervous but it was all fine.

Booked my first ever train trip through the site, a rail ticket from Newcastle down to London for a gig. The tickets came through as an email with a QR code, which scanned fine at the gate. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was straightforward and the price was good for a Saturday.

Got the rail tickets for a stag weekend in Bristol and the price was about a fiver less than buying direct with the operator. Booking took maybe five minutes on my phone, everything in one basket, and the confirmation came straight through. Nothing to complain about, the tickets worked fine and I'd use them again for sure.

I needed to get from Leeds to Edinburgh for a funeral and had about two days to sort it out. Booked through the app on the bus home and the tickets were on my phone before I got off. Really handy when you're in a rush and don't want to faff about at the station.

Bought the rail pass for a week of travelling around Scotland and it did the job. The pass came through as a digital ticket which was fine, but the app kept logging me out so I had to re-open it at the barrier once. Otherwise pretty decent.

I looked at three different sites before settling on this one for a weekend in Bath with the kids. It was the only one that showed the train and the accommodation together with a clear total, which saved me opening a dozen tabs. The rail leg was a touch dearer than one of the others but the bundle made up for it. Tickets arrived quickly and the trip went smoothly.

I usually just book the trains direct with the operator but this was a bit quicker for a return to York with two stops. Found a slightly cheaper option than I'd seen on the main site, which was nice. The only annoying bit was the confirmation email took ages to arrive and I had to check spam twice.

I'd say the booking was the best part, as it's rare to get the rail fares and the hotel in one place without hunting about. The customer team answered my question about a change within the hour, which I didn't expect on a weekend. Everything went through just as described and I'm happy to use it again.

Bought the tickets for a trip to Cornwall in the spring and all went through without any bother. When my dates changed I had to wait nearly four days for anyone to reply to my message about the amendment. In the end it was sorted, but it was an unnecessary wait for a simple change.
