Posting in support of how and why Bozza has pulled The Middle East Thread (or similar title) this is why like many myself included use NSC looking for genuine advice. We are regular users of train travel and for us it Northern, Southern or AWC. Now on every operating company adverts asking you for Best Priced Tickets . Now we can and have on Advance tickets got great prices for two from Macclesfield, Euston,Tube and then Victoria via Lewes to Seaford often under £90 return for two with Snr Railcard all on The Trainline App, so are they the best ticket provider.

You can get the same tickets on any of the rail operators’ apps and you don’t pay the fee that Trainline charge.

The only place/way I've gotten cheaper than the Trainline App is by going in and speaking to someone in a ticketing office who managed to suss out better ways with which rail card to purchase.
But I rate the Train line app, and it does split tickets now as well. Also can use it to log the tickets into Sap Concur if anyone does expenses/business travel which is neat

Indeed. And if you have an Amex card and buy via LNER - which like the rest sells tickets for all the train companies - you get 10% back.

I have recently used TrainPal on a suggestion from someone on here.... resulted for Everton and Leicester for example, in both cases cheapest I could find online, only a few quid here and there, but definitely cheaper.
