Amazingly Fast and helpful response

Amazingly Fast and helpful response. Due to strike action I requested a refund of my train tickets but had difficulty with the online form. I contacted Customer service who couldn't have been more helpful and had sorted the whole problem out within the hour. The best customer service I have received in a long time.

Amazing customer service

I don't normally write reviews here but the level of customer service I received was outstanding

The website and apps all work well for me and i like the way seat reservations "join up" when you choose split tickets

However, it was when I needed help that the folks at Trainsplit (and Adam in particular) really excelled themselves. I got detailed information about my problem and it was resolved with just an email. No chatbots asking silly questions and providing little help or information

These guys are experts in the vagaries or the many systems that make up the UK railway system and they used this to truly help me and explain things in a clear way

I recommend using Trainsplit next time you need to book a train ticket

Poor disability awareness - refund refused despite honest mistake and following their own advice

I will not be using TrainSplit again after a very poor customer service experience. I have a reading disability and accidentally purchased a 13:33 ticket instead of my intended 15:33 ticket for the same day and journey. Following TrainSplit’s own website advice, I bought a second ticket for the correct train.

On board, the conductor mistakenly scanned the wrong (earlier) ticket first, then scanned the correct ticket one minute later. The first ticket had already been several hours out of date when scanned, making it impossible for me to have used both. The journey to Paddington was over 3.5 hours long, so their system clearly shows that both tickets were scanned back-to-back.

Despite this, TrainSplit refused a refund or even a goodwill gesture. They claimed “rail industry rules” prevented them from overriding the scan record, then passed me to SWR - who confirmed it was TrainSplit’s responsibility. GWR (the train operator) also confirmed TrainSplit could see the scan times for both tickets, but TrainSplit still refused to act.

I am not disputing the rules, but for a ticket costing over £100 and in light of my disability, a gesture of goodwill such as a voucher would have been reasonable. Competitors like Trainline have handled similar situations far more fairly. TrainSplit chose instead to hide behind “policy” and leave a customer out of pocket.

Hi Georgie,

We’re sorry you feel disappointed by your experience. We’d like to address the points you’ve raised so that other readers can see the full context.

You purchased two separate Advance tickets for the same day, one for 13:33 and one for 15:33. When the train guard came to check tickets, the earlier ticket was presented by yourself and scanned first, followed by the correct ticket a minute later. We understand this was unintentional, but under standard refund terms, once a ticket is scanned and accepted for travel it is recorded in the rail industry’s central system as “used.” No retailer, including TrainSplit, has the ability to reverse or override that record, even if the scan was made in error or the wrong ticket was presented. This is an industry-wide rule, not a company policy.

The scan data shows:
• Booking E-ZPBMGG9BF: Ticket accepted at Liskeard at 15:37.
• Booking E-A7MW5QCBR: Ticket accepted at Plymouth at 15:38, and again at London Paddington at 19:39.

This means both tickets were presented and accepted for travel, so we could not process a refund for either. This would be the case regardless of disability, personal circumstances, or which retailer you purchased from.

We did suggest contacting the train operator (GWR) directly, as they are the only party with discretion to offer goodwill gestures in such situations. They confirmed they would not refund the ticket. The Rail Ombudsman is the next step for escalating any complaint about a train company’s decision, and we provided you with their details.

We appreciate your feedback and we’re sorry this has left you feeling dissatisfied. While we must apply the same rules consistently to all customers, we understand this was a frustrating experience and regret that we couldn’t give you the outcome you were looking for.

My go to ticketing website

Trainsplit has been a godsend ever since i found it a year or so ago. The new website is even better, with the filters that show the 2 most important things - price and journey time - and unlike the other ticketing websites, it shows the lowest prices of the WHOLE day and even finds cheaper tickets that i haven't found on the other ticketing websites during the same session.

They also give an hours grace to refund tickets without question which is amazing. Especially useful when you are rushing to book advance tickets!

During the recent LNWR rail sale, trainsplit was the only one to have the £15 returns close to the sale end date. But i've noticed it can also find cheaper fares that don't appear on all the major ticketing sites (trainline, trip.com, trainpal, worse LNER which doesn't even do super off-peak returns for some reason)

I really appreciate this company for making rail travel cheap, comfortable and fun.
