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.

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.

Autumn is doing the absolute most this year.
Golden woodlands. Copper hillsides. Misty valleys. And somehow people are still choosing to stare at traffic.
We’ve rounded up some of the UK’s best autumn train journeys, including the Lake District, the Highlands, Oxfordshire and Wales. All you need is a window seat, a charged phone, and enough self-control not to fill your camera roll before you’ve arrived.
Bonus points if TrainSplit finds you a cheaper fare along the way.

Railcards are not complicated, but they are frequently underused.
If you are travelling across the UK, there is a high probability you are eligible for savings that pay for themselves faster than expected. The real advantage comes when you pair them with smarter ticketing strategies.
This is about making every journey financially efficient without changing how you travel.

“When I was Secretary of State, I said it (GBR) should not really get involved in this business (online retailing) at all…”
Lord Harper in the Lords last week, explaining why the state shouldn’t mess with online rail retailing when independent websites and apps already do it better.
Well, what can we say… you’re too kind! 😊 #RailwayBill
🍎 Apple picking. Food markets. Cider. And no one has to drive home.
Harvest season is here, and it’s a pretty good excuse to get on a train and go somewhere for the weekend.
We’ve picked a few places worth heading to, plus one we’ve actually tried ourselves.
Just don’t get carried away with the apple picking. You’ve still got to carry them back to the station…

Well, hello to all our new followers 👋
If @KieranMaguire brought you here, welcome! Thank you Kieran :-)
If you've got an away day coming up ⚽ (or any train journey, for that matter 🚆), there's one thing we'd love you to do...
Before you book, try the journey on the TrainSplit.app
That's it. Give us a search and see what we can find for you 👀
A very important intervention from Lord Harper in last week's Lords debate: the Treasury will obviously want GBROR’s ticketing costs to be as low as possible.
If it can’t operate more efficiently than the 4.5% commission paid to independent retailers, he even suggested it shouldn’t be in the retail business.
Clear, channel specific accounting is essential to show whether it is operating at that level and whether any subsidy is flowing into GBR’s online arm.

🎸 A heavy metal guitarist telling train passengers to keep the noise down… that’s a first.
National Quiet Day is tomorrow, Monday 14 September, and LNER is getting involved by offering a free hot drink to passengers who keep the volume down and use headphones.
The campaign is being fronted by LNER’s Robb Weir, who also happens to be a founding member of heavy metal band Tygers of Pan Tang.
Travelling with LNER? Show your headphones at the Café Bar or say “National Quiet Day” to claim your drink. ☕
🚆 Need to book? Check LNER trains and fares with TrainSplit: trainsplit.com/

Kieran is the man! Download our trainsplit.app and see what you can save!
He also talks a lot of sense whenever I hear him on @talkSPORT
One journey to Coventry, standard return fare £94.
To get cheaper involves 17 separate tickets (as you can’t cross London with a digital ticket most of the time).
As much as I love @TrainSplit and co, surely we need a proper rail strategy?
