thetrainline Mobile App Wins Sunday Times Travel App of the Week

We are very pleased to announce that thetrainline app for Blackberry, Nokia, and Sony-Ericsson, developed in conjunction with Masabi, was featured as the Sunday Times Travel App of the Week over the weekend!

The article appeared in the travel section and is available here (for Sunday Times digital subscribers).

A slight clarification ought to be made to a potential misunderstanding in the article, which stated that "all you need to do is saunter up to the collection machines (having given them two hours to process your order) when you arrive at the station".

You can book a ticket any time up to 10 minutes before the train departs so there’s no need to plan too far in advance. However, if you’re an early planner and book your tickets well ahead of time you have to wait a couple of hours for your ticket to be ready for pick-up.

If you want to try the app text TRAIN to 86688 - and let us know what you think.
