Same here, ipad/safariJust tried it. Stuck in a loop of the descriptions of the different databases it is searching from.

Can you retry now please? If it gets stuck 'spinning' again, please make a note of the search being run and the exact time you ran it and drop it over to me in a PM, the Trainsplit team should then be able to isolate the issue.Same here, ipad/safari
Worked just now. Thanks.Can you retry now please? If it gets stuck 'spinning' again, please make a note of the search being run and the exact time you ran it and drop it over to me in a PM, the Trainsplit team should then be able to isolate the issue.
It wouldn't be, no - thanks for pointing that out, looks like we've managed to suppress the banner on iPhone/Android but not on tablets. Will get that sorted.Worked just now. Thanks.
One other minor thing - on the ipad, a banner appears at the very top, inviting you to use the trainsplit app instead - not sure if the affiliate thing would be carried over into the app.
Just to confirm, using a user account set up originally on another Trainsplit brand is absolutely fine.Worked perfectly just now for me. Once on the railforums version of the site I logged in with my trainsplit username and password which was recognised. I assume this is ok and a separate account isn’t needed for the forum to get its money.
No. These tickets are difficult for most itinerary-based booking engines, because obviously locations like "London Boundary of Zone 3" don't feature in the timetable data and no journey plan can be generated for the customer to pick. Selling these tickets would require some considerable frontend work to allow purchasing a ticket without selecting an associated journey and it's not obvious the demand would necessarily be there to make this work worth it.Can it issue tickets from London Travelcard boundaries?
They are now.(They aren't listed under 'What can't you sell?')
The de-facto industry standard: E-Ticket. TOD as fallback.How are tickets bought through the site delivered? In what format(s) are they?
FAQ question "How will I get my tickets?" now covers this(And as an obvious question, why isn't it in the FAQ?)
Timeline view absolutely should be the default, in my opinion.The only "niggle" I found in the process of selecting what time I wanted to travel was in the Grid view. It automatically went to the cheapest fare at 09:22, but I couldn't work out how change to an earlier train which was slightly more expensive. I had put a time in of departing after 07:30. In the Timeline view it's really easy to select an earlier train.
No real point waiting for it if it takes more than 30s/1 minute, it probably isn't going to work...I'm just getting the wheel of death - been running 10 minutes for Stevenage to Manchester and return tomorrow
The RailUK site (and pretty much any Trainsplit site) has any card collection enabled these days, so that shouldn't be a problemI'm sorry that I can't support the forum by buying my rail ticket at this site.
The reason is because Trainsplit doesn't support PayPal or Amazon Pay, that I will need to use the exact payment card to collect my tickets. My local Thameslink line doesn't have e-tickets enabled and Ticket on Departure is the only fulfilment option, and the payment card I use is generally kept at home, that I ain't willing to take the risk of getting it lost or stolen.
Stevenage to Manchester out at 10am this morning, back at 8pm this evening, 1 adult, 1 network railcard, split tickets enabled. Would have been about 5 minutes before I posted the message (i.e. around 2215-2200). No Chrome extensions as it was on my work laptop (locked down). Chrome version - 105.0.5195.102 (Official Build) (32-bit)No real point waiting for it if it takes more than 30s/1 minute, it probably isn't going to work...
Can you provide the details of the exact search you performed (outbound date, outbound time, return date, return time, number of adult and child passengers, railcards, whether split tickets were enabled), or alternatively the exact time (from e.g. https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/uk/london) at which you clicked the find tickets button?
Are you using any Chrome eextension? Can you confirm which version of Chrome you are using?
Has Trainsplit ever offered splits consisting of a Travelcard and a boundary extension ticket?No. These tickets are difficult for most itinerary-based booking engines, because obviously locations like "London Boundary of Zone 3" don't feature in the timetable data and no journey plan can be generated for the customer to pick.
Thank you. I have just booked 2 more journeys today, where I am forced to use paper tickets, and the confirmation email says that I can use any payment card to collect my tickets.The RailUK site (and pretty much any Trainsplit site) has any card collection enabled these days, so that shouldn't be a problem
No, because boundary zone tickets cannot be sold online.Has Trainsplit ever offered splits consisting of a Travelcard and a boundary extension ticket?
I think they technically can be, it's just that it would involve a laborious process for what would ultimately be a relatively small number of tickets sold.No, because boundary zone tickets cannot be sold online.
