    What is TrainPal?

    TrainPal is a UK train ticket purchasing app that helps you save on every journey on UK railways. No booking fees, several ways to save, and a fair price guarantee.

    SplitTickets - how does it work?

    Instead of one ticket from point A to point B, TrainPal automatically splits the route into several shorter segments. You travel on the exact same train, but the total price is often lower. The average saving according to TrainPal data for 2025 is 19% - easily hundreds of crowns on longer routes.

    Railcard = 1/3 discount

    If you fall into one of the categories (16-25, 26-30, Two Together, Senior, Family & Friends), a Railcard gives you one third off every ticket. TrainPal automatically applies the Railcard, and it usually pays for itself after just a few journeys.

    No booking fees

    Unlike some competitors, TrainPal does not charge a booking fee - what you see is what you pay.

    Price Guarantee

    • Price Match - find the same tickets cheaper elsewhere? They'll pay you the difference.
    • Best Price Hunter - if the price drops after purchase, they'll automatically refund you the difference.

    When it pays off

    Simply always, when you travel by train in the UK. For one-off trips, just install the app and buy a ticket; for regular journeys, it's worth investing in a Railcard.

    My verdict

    For UK rail travel, a clear choice - SplitTickets can save hundreds of crowns on longer routes, and the price match is a fair bonus.
