Comments on ThamesLink Railway for Android

★★★★☆ Yves L · Oct 18, 2026

Brilliant service, brilliant app. More frequencies and cheaper to Gatwick Airport than the "express" competing service out of Victoria. Just missing a widget with current geolocation and estimated time of arrival.

★★★★★ Janet Annetts · Jun 5, 2026

Great platform for booking train travel anywhere in the country.

★★★★☆ Dan Harris-McCulloch · Dec 10, 2025

Overall a great app, but only issue now is that when viewing the tickets to scan at the barriers the screen brightness doesn't increase to allow it to be scanned successfully. If I increase the brightness manually it works fine, but I shouldn't have to. It seems worse since it's been darker in the morning and evening so the phone's adaptive brightness makes the screen dimmer than it is during the summer. Other similar apps can do this. So one more small tweak to make the app great.

★★★★★ Nick Keay · Sep 5, 2026

I love this app. I use it to buy tickets for all the other train companies. Much better and cheaper, than The Train line!

★★★★★ Andy John · Jul 22, 2026

Dear team, please can you add train times and TFL tube status home screen and status bar widgets, so we can see the train times and tube status easier without opening the app, also something for Wear OS

Dear Time slink, Thank you for getting in touch regarding my recent survey feedback. I gave these scores based on my recent experience with the service. While I appreciate the effort of the Time slink app, there were some issues that affected my overall satisfaction. In particular, delays in service and a lack of clear tracking updates made the process frustrating, which is why I did not give higher scores. I believe the service has potential, and I hope this feedback help Thank you Goiás Suleiman

On 19th August, the app informed me that all trains from Couldn South to Crawley were cancelled after 9.00pm due to a truck colliding with bridge. When I did a delay repay claim, I was told the train DID run. Thames link should ensure that the info on the app is reliable. I saw the offending truck, and it was on a different line. If I had gone to the station, to check, I would have missed a lift home

★☆☆☆☆ Freddie ANCLIFF · Sep 22, 2026

App used to work well, but now takes a random duration of time to check out a ticket even with strong internet connection. This takes about 1 minute at minimum and most of the time over 10 by which time my train would already have left and so have had to book tickets elsewhere. Used to use every day as could easily buy the same anytime day return ticket every day without having to select train times but now the app is unusable as can't check out.

★☆☆☆☆ Isaac · Sep 22, 2026

When not connected to internet, consistently shows tickets which are days old instead of the ticket you need for the day. If you don't have a connection and didn't screenshot your ticket beforehand, have fun missing your train.
