Split tickets are only the start.
Pick your seat, check live running info, see what train is turning up, share tickets straight to someone else’s phone wallet and more.
Turns out the TrainSplit app has been quietly doing quite a lot while we’ve been banging on about split tickets.

Thanks for recommending us, @KieranMaguire!
Hi @MichaelLCrick, give TrainSplit a try 😊
We don’t charge booking fees, and there’s no need to transfer your Senior Railcard. Just select it when you search and the discount will be applied where available. We’ll also look for split ticket savings along the way.
And if you need any help, we’ve got a small UK-based customer support team who genuinely care about getting things sorted.

Good to see @railandroad addressing this now as it’s certainly not the case today. But, as the rail competition watchdog, shouldn’t equal access to fares and data have been a priority long ago?
We will be engaging in this consultation to ensure the Government’s rhetoric matches its reality. We need to see concrete, practical steps towards economic parity, ensuring that promises of an open market aren’t just empty political talk.

The proposed rail retail Code of Practice is a welcome step forward.
For the first time, it sets out fair and equal access to fares, products and data, something that doesn’t exist today.
But principles on paper are only the start.
Anthony Smith, Chair of @RailRetailers: “We will engage strongly in the upcoming consultation to ensure the Government delivers on its promise of a fair, open and competitive market.”
Passengers get the best value and outcome when there is choice in where they buy their tickets.

Too early to mention Christmas? 🎄

Thanks for sending these over, Louie. We’ve had a look. While the journeys are the same, the results show different ticket types, so they aren’t a like-for-like fare comparison. As the journey has now passed, the full fare breakdown from the time is no longer available for us to compare further. Thanks for taking the time to send the screenshots over.
@LPriest_SFC@fionaajade@bagelboi21 Hi Louie, we would like to investigate further next time you see such an increase. Screenshots and URLs would be enough for us to take a closer look. Thanks.
👏 Thank You to Our Sponsors! 💙

@seatsixtyone@feeling_gd2020@EuropeanSlpr Thanks. The EU has been talking about increasing cross border rail travel forever (it seems), they need to "force it" to happen with regulations like this IMO.
@seatsixtyone@feeling_gd2020@EuropeanSlpr In there was disruption/delays, how would the relevant people know they were "booked together on one retailing platform"? Or to put it another way, what would the booking platform have to "include" in the eTicket or whatever?
