Our take
Trainline make it super easy to book transport tickets. Their app is intuitive and well designed. and they're even pioneering paperless travel, allowing you to store your tickets in the app.
They're hyper focused on customer experience and have a product culture of fast iteration to deliver great outcomes for customers.
Their customers make 170,000 journeys a day and they sell 200 tickets a minute.
They're continuing to innovate to stay ahead. They're using machine learning to predict price movements and are integrating with Siri and Google Assistant so people can buy tickets just by speaking to their phone.
