Railboard is a very nice system to use. It keeps your railcard stored, so you don’t need to re‑enter anything, and the layout is clearer than some other apps, though broadly similar. I tend to us... See more

About Railboard

Written by the company

With the Railboard iPhone or iPad app, you can save lots of money by finding super-cheap split train tickets. Plus, you have easy access to live train times powered by National Rail Enquiries.

With Split Tickets, our clever algorithms find combinations of tickets that together offer the same journey but at a lower price than a regular ticket.

This is done by splitting regular train tickets at calling points along the journey. So instead of one ticket from A to C, you have two tickets from A to B and B to C. However, you stay on the same train as normal. There is no requirement to alight and re-board. And we do all the hard work to find them for you!

But that’s not all; Railboard has tons of other features:
  • No booking fees.
  • Instant etickets, which you can add to Apple Wallet.
  • Buy with Apple Pay.
  • Supports Dark Mode.
  • Set your railcard to get railcard discounts.
  • Easily request refunds using an online form inside the app.
  • Receipts available inside the app.
  • An easy button to add journeys to your calendar.
  • You can optionally toggle off seeing ticket prices.
  • You can choose to see only direct trains.
  • National Rail departure and arrival boards.
  • Official National Rail platform numbers.
  • Clear disruption, delay, and cancellation notices.
  • Pin trains and journeys for easy access later on.
  • You can save route searches for quick access.
  • Optional settings, so you can customise Railboard to how you like it.

Railboard excellent

Railboard excellent! However I missed my train due to London Underground strike . So annoying watching the train leave when I was in a taxi in gridlocked London , I got to Euston the same time the train left! Purchased another train ticket and watched my train pull in 2 hours before me!
I have the journey home though today!

I recently discovered this company and…

I recently discovered this company and began using its service for my own personal websites. It has proven to be highly effective and I have recommended it to my technical colleagues. The deployment process from GitHub is particularly impressive as it is straightforward and the service performs as advertised. !

Thanks for the review, David, although I think you may be confusing Railboard, the train tickets app, with something else! ~Jon

Simple and highly accessible if you are Disabled

I started to use the app because I had a terrible experience as a blind person with an alternative Rail booking app. I found this one to be extremely user-friendly, intuitive and straightforward. There are a couple of accessibility niggles, one or two very small issues on calendars but buying large it’s a dream to use and offers just as good ticket pricing as their competitors. I would highly recommend. .
