At some point the last few months, something went wrong with this app. I can use it once, and it would work nicely, but from then onwards, when I want to buy tickets again, I get an "Something went wrong error", and the only way to fix it is by uninstalling and re-installing the app (android). Extremely dissapointing. UPDATE: Workaround applied. Phone upgraded. App updated many times. Still doesn't work after the first use. Switched to Uber trains

Simple return journey between two UK cities. I put in the dates of travel at the beginning and they were correct. The app stalled "Trainline is not responding" at the payment stage, so I had to reopen it. Using a different payment method on second attempt I managed to complete the purchase. When I checked the tickets, only SECONDS later, I saw the return date was incorrect. Presumably the glitch had caused that. Trainline did enable me to change it, but charged me £25 for correcting their error!

Hi Kay.
Sorry to hear this.
Journey details are based on customer selections, so when the search reset you may have had to re-enter your travel info.
Changes can involve fees although, if there's been an error it's best to contact our Customer Service team to see if anything else can be done > http://bit.ly/2GaiVTC
Thanks,
Andy

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.
