Further to my previous posts, see below, this app now wants to know my age and those of my companions. This is crazy, I only want to buy a railway ticket! Time to close the account I think. Other issues: preferences no longer saved, itinerary for a journey doesn't show times of arrival or departure for each leg, slow to load and often crashes and the fact this used to be free, now we have to pay an Admin booking fee and in addition we get ads too.

the new update has frustrated me. after booking your tickets, you used to be able to press 'view journey' to see the timings of your changes. this is mo longer possible and it instead tells me about split save and my ticket conditions. if I wanted to see that, I would've pressed 'view tickets'. this is quite irritating as now I have to search the journey to see the timings.

Although convenient for booking tickets, if you hesitate for more than 20 seconds, the app throws up an error with "something's off track". Only good thing about that is the pun... please fix the stability issues!! new update 17-July-26: have been trying to book the same ticket and everytime it shows availability, as I get through to payment, the app says "unfortunately this ticket sold out". next time i search the route, ticket price increases. still says Sold Out on payment. 5 times. Scam.
