FAQ

Can I reserve a seat?

Travelling in the UK

Can I amend my seat reservation?

The seat you are given when buying an Advance Single ticket cannot be changed. Seats for flexible tickets such as Anytime, Off-Peak and Super Off-Peak can be. Please follow the process below to amend your seats. 

Log in to your account and open the ticket which you would like to amend. When your ticket is open you will see this page below.

Trainline

Please click on the change date/time option to amend your seats. Next you will be asked to select the the journey you would like to change

Once you have clicked continue you will then be asked to search for a new date/time. If you would only like to change your seat and not your date/time then please just search the same date and time as you had previously chosen and click find new journey. 

Next you will see a list of new times for the date you have chosen and next to these times you will see a Reserve button. If there is no Reserve button then this means that the service is fully booked or a non reservable service. Once you have decided on the new time and there are still reservable seats then please click the reserve button.

Seat reservations for group bookings

If you make a seat reservation for a booking of more than one person, our system will choose the best selection of seats from those available. You might get some seat numbers that don’t look like they’re together, but this might be because they’re sat around a table. We’ll always try and match your preferences, but at times it’s not always possible. Don’t worry though, many long-distance train routes have carriages that can’t be reserved, so you’re likely to find a seat on the day.

Travelling in Mainland Europe

Whether you can reserve a seat depends on the carrier you are travelling. When you make a booking online you will be shown the seat reservations available for you chosen train. 

Seat reservations fall into one of the following categories -

Free seat reservation allocated at the time of booking

If you require a reservation you will be allocated one at the time of booking. Many carriers allow you to specify seating preferences, fill these in when prompted during the booking flow and we’ll do our best to provide a seat meeting those preferences.

Purchase a seat reservation at the time of booking

Some carriers do not pre-allocate you a seat reservation, instead they give you the option of purchasing one at the time of booking. To book simply select a reservation from the comfort options whilst selecting your ticket type. Add seating preferences when prompted during the booking flow and we’ll do our best to provide a seat meeting those preferences.

Upgrade to a premium seat at the time of booking

Some carriers allocate you a seat reservation but also give you the option of purchasing an upgrade to a Premium seat. The perks of these upgrades vary depending for each carrier, examples are a comfier seat, drinks and snacks, wifi and newspapers. To book simply select a Premium reservation from the comfort options whilst selecting you ticket type.

Non reservable train

Some carriers don’t provide seat reservations on all or some of their trains. This is common on regional trains, shorter routes and during peak travel times on commuter routes. On these trains you can sit in any vacant seat in the class your ticket is booked for.

Amending seat reservations

Once your ticket is booked and the seat reservations has been made, we are unable to amend it.

Purchasing a seat reservation after booking

 Some carriers allow you to add a seat reservation after booking. You will need to go to the carrier website directly and enter the details of your trip. If the chosen train allows you to reserve a seat, you will have the option to pay the fees.

How do I print my Eurostar ticket?

To print your Eurostar tickets you’ll need your reference number, which can be found in your booking confirmation email. If you’ve lost the email, don’t worry, you can easily find your reference number in My booking/My account on our website or our app.

Where you print your Eurostar tickets depends on where your trip is departing from. But, whichever station you’re catching the Eurostar from, you’ll need to make sure you’ve printed your tickets at least 45 minutes beforehand - this gives you time to check in and board the train. You’ll also need your ID to check in.

Departures from Lille or Marne-la-Vallée

- At the station, head to an SNCF self-service ticket machine and follow the instructions on the screen for collecting tickets.

Enter your booking reference number and confirm.

Make sure you collect all your tickets, as you can only print them once.

Departures from Brussels

    The app doesn't always display every route you can take. Sometimes it suggests routes that are longer and more complex. I've already updated the app, so that's not the issue. It's just not very reliable.

    I bought a mobile ticket through an external agent and used the app to access it. The ticket worked fine during my journey, but later, I couldn't view it again on the Trainline app to send a screenshot for delay repay. The app kept showing an error message. Lesson learned - always take screenshots of your tickets beforehand in case the Trainline app stops working and you can't access them anymore.

    The app keeps crashing a lot, especially when I'm trying to book tickets. It happened twice last week and even though the ticket booking didn't go through, £1 was still deducted from my account both times. It's like they're taking money from me for no good reason.
