Paid £12.20 for the ticket. Was refunded £4.70. Trainline refund fee £8.50. This is how this horrible complany are making money. This is a scam in my opinion and needs to be investigating as they are clearly abusing the customer rights.
They put on wrong information on their website, which prevented me from downloading the ticket and nothing could be done to have a cop of the ticket in a different way. On top of that, when I called the only contact number I could find to ask for an email address to send them a refund request with attachments, the operator refused to give me their email, with no plausible reason other then to discourage me from doing that! So I had to send an expensive registered email to their main office to be heard. Even then, the person who replied misread my email completely and didn't even bother to open the attachments, which didn't even need an interpretation as they clearly demonstrated that the fault of what happened was theirs. The whole operation cost me a huge waste of time, irritation and a sum of money I will aver see again.
I always find this site to be the best for finding the cheapest rail fares in the UK. Remember, 2 singles can sometimes be cheaper than a return ;)
thetrainline.com have repeatedly advertised ( on jobserve.co.uk) the same or very similar roles for more than a year to my knowledge. I have never had any feedback from my application and cannot understand how this position has not been filled in the current economic environment. I reported them to the ASA as it is illegal to advertise jobs that don't exist.
