I always use Trainline to book my train tickets

It's always easy to find train times on Trainline and to book the best deals - they show your options and the different prices. The live travel information in particular but also the information on which platform you need to be on when departing as well as the platform you will arrive at, is extremely helpful. I always use Trainline to book my train tickets.
