trainline Discount Codes - December 2024

trainline is Europe’s biggest providers of rail and coach tickets. They bring together routes, ticket fares, journey times and other travel services seamlessly to provide a hassle-free travel solution. Check out our top tips to get the best value on your journey so you have more money left in your pocket to spend during your trip.

Save a Bundle with SplitSave Tickets

Travelling on a long journey? SplitSave is the trainline's latest money-saving feature which helps you save a few pennies by finding clever ways to split your journey into multiple legs. Buying multiple tickets can often end up cheaper than buying a single ticket. The app's clever algorithm finds you the cheapest option by making the most of different train companies rail fares. You can still reserve a seat, use your railcard to save even more and you won't have to make any unnecessary train changes - there really are no downsides!

It's easy to use this feature - simply search for your journey as usual on the app and it will automatically calculate if there are any SplitSave fares available and tells you how much you'll save. Enjoy an average saving of £21.65 with split tickets.

Download the Free App

Make arranging your travel even easier by downloading the free Trainline app. Available for both iOS and Android, the easy-to-use app makes booking train or coach tickets on the go even easier. From price alerts to real-time information about your journey status, live departure boards, platform information and seat preference options, have everything you need in the palm of your hand. You can even download your train ticket and certain railcards to your phone so you have everything you need at your fingertips.

Try the Price Prediction Feature

On the app there is a terrific price prediction tool which allows you to see a detailed breakdown of expected price rises for your journey, as well as when tickets at the cheapest price are likely to sell out. This is particularly handy if you’re planning a journey to somewhere new and want to work out the best time to book for the best fare. Use this nifty tool for UK train tickets as well as Eurostar bookings to avoid paying more on your travel.

Check Coach Tickets for Cheaper Travel

It’s well worth checking to see if it would be cheaper to travel by coach rather than by train. When you search for train tickets, the journey planner will also automatically show you if there are coach routes and tickets available and suggest the best ones for you. It may take you a little longer, but you really can save a bundle travelling by coach.

Train Delayed? Get Compensation with Delay Repay

If you’ve had some bad luck and your train is delayed, it’s well worth checking if you’re entitled to compensation. Like many train companies, trainline offers delay repay compensation if your train is over 30 minutes late. Simply request a refund in the ‘manage my ticket’ section of the site or app and if the train company has a delay repay scheme the team will process your request for you.

Savings Tip from Our trainline Discount Expert, John

Yes, your Railcard does work when buying UK train tickets using Trainline! Your search results will show you the original price of the train alongside the railcard price, so you can see exactly how much you're saving. With the 16-25, 26-30, and senior railcards all saving you a massive 30% off your rail fare for a one-off payment of £30, you could even make your money back in as little as one trip.

My colleague has supplied a screenshot of her journey using a Railcard to save on Trainline tickets below. As well as supplying you with the latest train information, delays and changes through the helpful live tracker, you can see by catching the later train she has saved £109, and has saved an additional £34 using her Railcard.
