Pay less for your train journeys with Split Ticketing
With TrainAI your train journeys could cost you up 80% less than on other train apps.
TrainAI searches through all the National Rail fares automatically to work out the cheapest combination of tickets for your journey that will save you money. You can then buy these tickets at a touch of a button.
How it works?
Let’s say you are making a journey from Station A to Station C and your train stops at Stations A, B and C. Because of a glitch in The Matrix it is often cheaper to buy a ticket from Station A to B and also buy another ticket from Station B to C rather than buying one ticket from Station A to C.
Let’s give a concrete example:
An Off-Peak Single UK National Rail ticket from Birmingham New Street to Bristol Temple Meads costs £57.65. *
However, a National Rail ticket from Birmingham New Street to Cheltenham Spa Costs £26.40 and a one from Cheltenham Spa to Bristol Temple Meads costs £9.90 which is a total of £36.30. If you bought these 2 tickets you'll save £21.35 for exactly the same train and journey!
The savings can be even more pronounced when you travel during Peak Times (yes you read that correctly), are buying last minute tickets or tickets for longer train journeys. Note that although you will have multiple tickets you do not need to get off and re-board the same train.
Personalised Savings Dashboard
The only reason that TrainAI exists is to save rail commuters money and of course to have fun whilst doing this. Because we are so confident that we'll save you money on your train journeys TrainAI includes an innovative savings dashboard which shows exactly how much you have saved by using the app.
Train tracking with delay and cancellation alerts
With TrainAI you can view the live location of your train. Also, if your train is delayed or cancelled TrainAI sends notifications directly to your phone to let you know. If you are notified that your train is Cancelled this might just save you a trip to the station and you can either find an alternative route or work from home. You might also be able to treat yourself to an extra 15 minutes in bed if you've been notified that your train has been Delayed, the choice is yours.
Deep Social Media integration
If you purchase a ticket for someone else you can easily share the booking references with them via Whatsapp, text, email, etc directly from the TrainAI app. You can also easily share the good news of how much you have saved using TrainAI with friends and family on social media. As a thank you from us, when anyone you invite to use TrainAI buys their first ticket using your discount code you could earn up to £10 off fees.
These are just some of the features of TrainAI. There are many more innovative features to come. Download and try TrainAI today!

this looks and works like an older version of the major well known ticket apps. (convoluted to use the flow of putting in the info) and doesn't find tickets for some journeys I make using the other apps, some prices are more than the other apps. doesn't show what rail company is running that service either.
Just playing with the app for the first time tonight and feel the "savings" are a bit misleading. I assume they're based upon the normal "flexible" prices, not advance fares, as fares are cheaper with a normal advance ticket than the fancy split ticketing for the routes I looked up.
This is a really great app! Tickets are much cheaper than normal price. Also since it uses Google Pay I dont need to fumble around for my debit card. I can pay in literally 2 taps. Very polished and easy to use. Its now my main travel app.
This app is possibly the most useless app ever!, I've searched about 30 different routes and it's not found one. I've left it "searching" for 5 minutes or more and nothing. What a joke.
utterly useless app there is no option to purchase 2 single fares which are well known to be way cheaper than most returns must do better if you want my custom I thought I would give you a try and you fall way short on LNER app I get 2 Durham York & York Durham Singles for £9.50 with no booking fees unlike you and compared to your cheapest £17.99 return on the same trains some savings having to pay much more than at a station or on an official train companies app
Cheap tickets! Some searches abit slow. But it takes a few seconds to find really cheap tickets.
Shame I didn't find this app earlier. Tickets are really cheap and with the travel now pay later deal I can pay for my tickets in 30 days. Whats not to like.
Made an error on my booking, called the helpline and a lovely man resolved my situation promptly. Definitely recommend, great customer service.
Never finds journeys. always just says no tickets available after the 3 minute search! im sure there are savings to be had but Salford Cresent isnt one of them.
never been able to book tickets. the App gives really good prices, but when trying to book it - just says 'cannot book' or 'fare unavailable'!!! please send me details of what i should do with your e-mail address........
terrible app, first cant add more than one railcard, going to earlier or later trains takes ages, then the search for tickets takes minutes...sorry but uninstalled!
Fantastic savings. Saved pretty much half. Definitely recommend checking it out.
Loved this app. Gave me much cheaper tickets & saved me money! Will definitely use again for my future travels!
Doesn't seem to offer mtickets for local station and charges a booking fee - literally the opposite of most other train apps
worked fine ne for first week but now the app crashes when i hit the 'search trains' button
easy to use and less expensive than other websites. thumbs up.
Excellent app.Good prices and easy to use.
A massive waste of time on a hopelessly confusing website.
Crashes on opening and is therefore unusable
It is what it says. A brilliant app which is saving my pockets.
I use a similar app, checked prices here & then with the other app & the other app was cheaper.
Very good prices. Saves me money.
Saved £43 on my tickets from Glasgow to Stafford. thank you so much.
I checked this app and it failed to find me cheap train tickets
Saved so much money going to see my team away on Saturday. C'mon boys! Tickets were almost £70 cheaper for our group. Will definitely use again.
Trainpal is free, this is expensive
ABSOLUTE RUBBISH. OFFERED A GOOD PRICE, BUT HAD TO PUT IN 2 DIFFERENT CARDS TWICE, BOTH VALID AND WENT THROUGH, THEN TOLD ME SALE NOT GONE THROUGH. WASTE OF TIME
Doesn't give "London (any)" as search option, requiring you to know at the top of your head leaving from which station will be the fastest/cheapest route. prices only shown after clicking a specific time slot, then it shows prices for all times-unnecessary additional step. Also you will be waiting almost a minute, literally (theres a count down), each time.All of that to find out in the end ticket prices are not even cheaper. Keep in mind customers read responses to reviews.Off putting! 0 stars!
