Trainline Business Fees

Why do you charge a booking fee?

We know it sounds cliché, but these fees really do go towards improving our products and services. We want to give you great value and hassle-free travel by rail. It’s pretty much our thing. We keep a close eye on our fees to make sure we're always putting your money to the best use and on Trainline Business we develop features specifically designed for business users.

Why are there different booking fees?

The booking fee you pay depends on:

• Your chosen journey
• Ticket price
• When and where you are booking from.

Most of the time, the booking fee will be between 59p and £3.99 if you’re booking a UK journey while you’re in the UK on Trainline Business. Different booking fees apply if you book a journey in another country (or if you’re in another country when you book).

Important note for anyone using a foreign currency card to pay: Different booking fees may apply.

Purchasing a cross-border journey or a journey in another country? Different booking fees may apply.

Why do some customers see different fees?

The booking fee you pay is calculated depending on whether you book on our website or on our app, when you are purchasing your ticket, and the value of your ticket. We are also continually testing changes in our product, which means some customers may have a slightly different experience to others while tests are in place.
