1. Quick booking advertised on your site and app when dashing for the next train doesn't work (often suggests tomorrow and fails to save search params) 2. will let you get all the way to booking the payment and then say 'something went wrong' if trying to book a ticket for something within next 15mins 3. Sometimes gives tomorrow's date as default meaning you buy the wrong ticket. Needs: buy a ticket for right now option with quick pay. Essential.

Hi Frank - I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you've been having. For context, the app suggests travel tomorrow if you're booking in the evening. If you want to pop us an email at [email protected] with more details about the issues you're having, we can take a deeper look at these!

Guys, please roll out an update to fix the hanging/neverending search when using 'plan & buy' and repeated requests to verify that I'm not a bot. Long time user of the app, want to keep using it, but it's currently (literally) unusable.
