Perfect
Moving towards technology, the E Tickets are a wide step into the right direction. Makes life less stressful.
Only see Advert
Just downloaded, tried to open several times and it freezes on initial railcard advert
Please fix your app
Railcard ad keeps being stuck on the screen when you open. No way to close the ad so I can’t use your app. Please fix the issue it’s been like this all through July.
Oooops
Looks like the latest version won’t display tickets on iOS 26.4
Cannot view e-tickets
App crashes since last update after clicking on the button to view e-tickets.
Brilliant app
Easy to use, cheaper than trainline
Doesn’t Work
Unable to get past the first advert screen. Screen frozen. Have deleted the app and updated on numerous occasions and still can’t get beyond the first screen.
Really easy to search for and buy tickets
A well designed app, straightforward to use.
Doesn’t work
I really needed this app for an upcoming trip but you can’t use the “Map my Journey” feature because it constantly gives a “Oops! Can’t load Google Maps” error message. The Search function doesn’t work either. I’m disappointed because it would have been a valuable tool for traveling around the country as a tourist but I had to delete it. I will just use the website and personal map instead. I did reach out to the staff but no one answered me.
Transferred from ScotRail
Perfect, simple and easy to use. Does what I need, good functionality perfect. Please don’t change to the ScotRail style app
So buggy
Never write reviews but downloaded today and can’t get past opening screen no matter what I try to do. Device restarts, uninstalling, the lot.
Day out
Really easy to use and get what I need in a few clicks
Purchase process always failed
Looking for timetable and prices was easy but the purchase process was disgusting. The need to register, ok. Unfortunately no Apple Pay! All Cards I tried to pay with I got the error that Card No. is not right. Different Cards, multiple double checks, no way.
Easy to use and efficient
I don’t use many apps and don’t live in Northern’s area, but have always found this one very easy to use when visiting
Absolute D0gsh1t!
The app crashes every time I try to register for an account so I can’t buy any tickets. I tried 5 times and all I get is “Oops something went wrong”….very helpful! I also noticed on one the screens that I can’t change cookie settings, it just doesn’t do anything at all whereas all the other settings opens a Northern Rail website screen where things can be changed. It’s almost as if they want to retain control of cookies themselves 🤔 - this doesn’t surprise me as I wouldn’t trust them as far as I can throw them. Northern Rail are a notoriously bad train operator and seemingly can’t build an app that works properly either.
Great - cheaper than Trainline
Easy to use and no booking fees unlike competitors
Dire
Nothing in this works. Live departures, my tickets all give a stupid error message. ‘Oops something went wrong …’ - deleting. Lose the oops. It’s amateurish & highly irritating.
Simple, easy to use, works
Thank God for Northern Rail! I’m a ScotRail exile who was trying to avoid Trainline fees when someone recommended this app. It’s exactly the same as the old ScotRail app and ot works. Phew!
Absolutely useless
I’ve spent 30 minutes trying to get this to open. Reinstalling etc However the app isn’t compatible with IoS and the pop-ups keep freezing the entire thing. I suggest using the traditional website.
Better than the bus
Straightforward to use. Whoever developed this app should go and sort out the garbage at HMRC online
unreliable platform
I have to be honest, your service is very below average, you can’t plan & execute your journey peacefully, always delays, cancellation without apology or refund. I can’t rely on this platform to commute to work, I lost job due to incessant complaints of train delays.
Great App
I use this app for all train bookings as it is so easy to use.
Shocking
App is unresponsive Thurs 23/07/26
Quick & Easy
Just booked advance tickets for next week, was offered various options - it was quick and easy to book & pay for my tickets
Unable to use
The app is stuck in the enable notifications screen and will not progress beyond this.
Good App
Easy to use good info
Awful
Tried numerous times to register account over two days. Pop up “Oops we’re having problems registering please try later”. Gave it up as a bad move.
