At the start of this year I was using TPE's ticket booking system and app.
It is terrible. An incoherent mess. There is not enough time and sweary words to describe how horrible it is.

Then a month ago, @seabass tipped me off about TrainSplit, and I am now forever in their debt.

Trainspilt online, and in the app is how rail booking should be.
Clear, consistent, a range of filters if reqd, good info in the app whilst you're travelling, and unlike LNER, you can purchase more than one ticket at a time!

My favourite option is using Exclude Operators to ensure I never have to travel with #crosscuntry !!!

Thank you @seabass

@gairsty I am so happy for you that you've had a good experience with TainSplit, and am glad I could point you towards them!

On more than one occasion I have walked up to the platform ticket machine, taken one look at its incoherent muddle of buttons, and then opened TrainSplit to purchase my ticket in less than a minute on their website instead. I still think ticket machines are important, but TrainSplit is leagues ahead in the UX department.

May you have many fantastic journeys on train operators not including CrossCountry, @gairsty 😂
