CrossCountry

★★★★★ This could be the only uk train app you need key pros of many others: - no booking fees for any Journeys - no fee for changing ticket date (most others have a £5 fee) - no adds - tickets you can print and save (for operators that support this) In my opinion that makes this the best all-rounder train app. Although for some operators you may have additional benefits of using their own app that may include: -notifications for delays or cancelations -picking a seat -auto delay repay -loyalty points

★★★★★ Fast and easy to buy tickets, usually in Les than 30 seconds. I use this as it works consistently, as opposed to the ap provided by the operator of the train I frequently get. So thanks Cross Country :)

★★☆☆☆ I have used this app for a number of years. One BIG fault. On the 100's of occasions I've requested FORWARD FACING AISLE SEAT, I've only ever received, on every occasion, a BACKWARD FACING WINDOW SEAT. The complete reverse of my request. I appreciate requests are not guaranteed but, for goodness’s sake, you could get it right at least once.

★★☆☆☆ Avoid expensive dirty trains. Also buying Country tickets directly with this app will cost more than if you use LNER app to purchase Country tickets. Most expensive by far and there trains are disgustingly dirty and normally very overbooked

★★☆☆☆ Lets you book trains where there are no available seats, cannot book seats for return journey I'm not using again
