Only downside: the application has stopped several times.

What our customers say about us

Any service will manage to find some positive opinions about it, by proudly displaying them on a page of “testimonies”. Even if their service is bad and their customers hate them. Which will not help you know if the customers of this company are really satisfied with it. Too bad, this is a bit the goal of such a page.

Here we display messages that customers have posted on Twitter about Trainline. It is therefore not bogus testimonies that come from false profiles, nor screenshots skillfully retouched by a marketing team. By clicking on each tweet, you will see that there are real customers behind.

Then, to find out if these testimonies really have value, the question arises of the volume. We are not talking here about some rare drawn testimonies where it suits us. No. This list has several hundred. You can read them by clicking on “Load more tweets” at the bottom of the list.

Please note: if you decide to read everything, it might take you a few hours. In return, you will have a fairly precise idea of ​​what our customers think of us.

My opinion on trainline !

trainline

Like you, I always bought my train tickets on the SNCF website. Until the last month.

Having heard of Trainline and offering it on my blog, especially On the Resources page And to travel by train in Europe, I wanted to test myself for the purchase of a ticket in France.

Like everything went well, I bought other train tickets on it. No problem.

On the contrary, I find the experience more practical, fast and simple than on the SNCF site.

here’s why.

  • 1. The same prices as on the SNCF website
  • 2. The choice of bus trip
  • 3. A more ergonomic and quick site to buy your ticket
  • 4. Recovery
  • 5. Other services
  • 6. Why hesitate ?

The same prices as on the SNCF website

Trainline opinion

I checked several times and the prices are really identical.

So no worries on that side.

Here is how they present themselves:

It’s very readable and synthetic.

You have the different trains and their prices, for the 2 nd and the 1st class.

I find that the results are better presented than on the SNCF website

The choice of bus trip

You can ask to display the results for bus trips too.

Practice to compare and take the most economical solution.

A big plus compared to the SNCF.

A more ergonomic and quick site to buy your ticket

trainline test

Clearly, it’s a TGV. Buying tickets is faster.

The site saves your data, you have fewer clicks to do, the user route is better thought, in short, it’s simpler.

You can also pay using Paypal.

Recovery

Trainline offers this service for train delays. A real plus I find.

Here’s how it works:

-When you are eligible for compensation, you receive an email or a notification on your phone.

-The site estimates the amount for you.

-Then you are helped in your approach with the SNCF.

You can then save your discount codes in the app to use them later.

Other services

Trainline site

The site offers different very practical small features:

Train line access

In the footer, you have a series of links for popular journeys in France and Europe. By clicking on it, the search field is already filled, you just have to choose the dates.

Train Types Access

Eurostar, Thalys, Tgvlyria, Trenitaliaetc, direct access to the tickets for these trains.

Buy or renew your reduction card

The site also offers this, and in particular the advantage card which offers 30 % reduction for 49 euros per year.

A card that I recommend if you make a few long journeys per year, it is quickly reimbursed. Indeed, it may be enough of 3 or 4 TGV journeys to make it profitable.

The Liberté card offers 60% reduction on journeys, for 399 euros per year.

Why hesitate ?

We are all so used to buying our train tickets on the SNCF since always that it may seem difficult to take the plunge for another site.

I too had reluctance.

I have tried and since then I haven’t happened.

The tickets are the same, the identical prices, the conditions of exchange and reimbursement such, all is done on the site.

The only drawback I see is that information on strikes and disruptions are less present than on the SNCF website.

And you, what do you think of trainline ? An opinion ?

THANKS

Good morning,
I live in Canada and have to move to France to organize my brother’s funeral. I never managed to buy tickets on the SNCF official website! I tried several times, but my credit card, however valid, did not pass. Impossible to speak to someone! The assistance number in Canada corresponded to a Spanish speaking person! Thank you Trainline!

Trainline is certainly a platform ..

Trainline is certainly a very practical platform but on the condition that there is no problem with the carrier, think about it before using it !
It is better to go directly through the carriers who, in exceptional circumstances, will grant exceptional measures. TrainLine remains on the conditions of purchase, refers to the conditions given of the carrier and does not seek to make an effort, unlike housing platform sites for example

Site more efficient ergonomically than those of the SNCF.

Date of experience: September 18, 2023

Impossible to take the right train

The train that I was trying to take first did not allow me to achieve payment because of an error message on bad information from my reduction card. So I felt forced to take a ticket later during the day and at a higher price.

Very practical and fast

Excellent site because well designed, easy and practical to use: but it would be good to recall clearly and more visible the date of tickets.
Personally, I was fooled but ok, I was too fast. So I asked for partial refund 2 minutes after purchase and resumed 2 tickets for the right date.
