Further to my previous posts, see below, this app now wants to know my age and those of my companions. This is crazy, I only want to buy a railway ticket! Time to close the account I think. Other issues: preferences no longer saved, itinerary for a journey doesn't show times of arrival or departure for each leg, slow to load and often crashes and the fact this used to be free, now we have to pay an Admin booking fee and in addition we get ads too.

the new update has frustrated me. after booking your tickets, you used to be able to press 'view journey' to see the timings of your changes. this is mo longer possible and it instead tells me about split save and my ticket conditions. if I wanted to see that, I would've pressed 'view tickets'. this is quite irritating as now I have to search the journey to see the timings.

old interface worked better. they "refreshed" the look and it just stopped being simple. it used to say when I can use same ticket, if it was off-peak or so, its not so clear anymore. to see my progress on the way of my train I can only check it by pop up notification in -my ticket- section but it doesn't always pop up and then it doesnt work correctly. Doesn't show the best route usually. it helps me in travel but ngl i gotta bend over backwards sometimes to get what I need from this app
