Train journey experience
I recently went on a train journey up to Liverpool, and I must say it was really nice. The staff on the train were brilliant, always so friendly and helpful. They had good food options, the wifi actually worked well, the seats were clean and comfy, and there was loads of space to move around. Plus, the train got to its destination right on time, which was great. But then I took another train with the same company down to Manchester, and it wasn't quite as good. The staff weren't as attentive, the food options were limited, and overall, it wasn't as nice as my trip up to Liverpool.
Train ride
So, you know, I've been on this train loads of times and it's been pretty rubbish, but recently it's been improving! They're actually running on time and everything, which is great. And once, the train driver was really nice and let my little brother come into the driver's part - he was over the moon!
Makes things easy as to book tickets before the trip
Booking from Transpennine Express is easy, fast and most of the time, cost-efficient as well.Its the best option to buy railway tickets which are highly conivienet for some particular routes.
You can book according to the various prefrences, routes and more.Ticket office people are nice.
The staff at the ticket office in Scarborough are really lovely and always willing to lend a hand. They're polite and give you that warm, fuzzy feeling. It's the ideal way to kick off your train journey.
Delayed train with no air conditioning
I was on the 20 train from Liverpool Lime Street that got delayed because of a trespass incident. I get that these things happen, but what really got to me was the fact that the air conditioning on the train wasn't working. It was just so frustrating to sit in a hot and stuffy carriage for hours. The delay was bad enough as it is, but the heat made it even worse. It was incredibly uncomfortable, and I don't think it's fair to make passengers deal with those conditions. Please sort out the air conditioning or at least switch it on so that the journey is more bearable for everyone.
Manchester to Edinburgh return journey
I made a booking for a round trip from Manchester to Edinburgh with this train company because it was a direct route. However, to my dismay, both my outgoing and return trips got cancelled out of the blue. After looking into it, I discovered that this particular train service is notorious for having the highest number of cancellations up North. It was really disheartening to come across such poor service, especially considering that the government had to step in due to the inadequate operations. I will definitely avoid using this train service again in the future.
Travel from Manchester to Liverpool
So, I got myself this fancy ticket for the train ride from Manchester to Liverpool, right? But let me tell you, it was a nightmare. The seat was all wonky, kept sliding back unexpectedly - made me feel like I was on a dodgy ride at a theme park, rather than a train. And to make matters worse, not a single person from the train crew came round with any snacks or drinks. Can you even believe it? I mean, come on, not even a cheeky bottle of water for poor old me, stuck there thirsty. And the cherry on top - when I spoke to this guy called Adam in Customer Relations, he only offered me a measly refund, that was just plain rude. Honestly, do they have no sense of decency?
Train ticket
I find it hard to believe how incompetent this company is. Everything from their messy website to their terrible customer service has made booking a simple train ticket a nightmare. Their "recovery plan" is a complete joke and it's clear they don't understand what customers need. It's as if they don't care about giving a decent service at all.
Late train cancellation
I'm absolutely fuming with the service I received! I was on the train when they suddenly decided to cancel it, no explanation or heads up. And then when I tried to claim delay repay, they flat out refused. It's just disrespectful to treat customers like that.
Train ticket purchase
My experience with the train service was absolutely shocking. My son accidentally bought a ticket for the wrong date, a simple mistake that he tried to fix when he was told by the staff. Instead of helping him, they publicly embarrassed him, treated him like a criminal, and made him feel terrible. The train itself was late and not moving, which gave the staff member even more time to be rude and aggressive. My son was so upset that he ended up in tears and had to pay a big fine for an honest mistake. It's really unfair that he was singled out when there were other passengers breaking the rules in more obvious ways. The inconsistency and unfair treatment of passengers is really appalling and not acceptable.
Train ticket refund
I'm really let down by this train company's service. I bought a ticket but then had to ask for a refund because of something unexpected. Trying to get my money back has been a total nightmare. The customer service staff are useless, lazy, and just no good at their job. Even though I've sent in clear photos of my ticket multiple times, they keep saying they're not good enough or missing. It's a total con - they make all these promises about refunds, but they never actually follow through.
Train journey disaster
Me and my mates were on this train heading out for a day trip, and then all of a sudden, it just stopped halfway through the journey! We had to come up with a different way to get to our destination. Can you believe it? And to top it off, when I asked for a refund, they flat out said no!
Travel experience
I had a pretty rubbish travel experience recently because they didn't seem to care at all about customers with allergies.
Train ticket
The train was always full of miserable workers who always lie about when they'll arrive to avoid giving refunds for late trains. I'm never getting on that train again, the service was just terrible.
First class ticket for travel to Birchwood
As a customer who bought a first-class ticket to Birchwood, I was really let down by the whole experience. I thought I'd be getting a more comfy and exclusive ride, but the carriages were grubby and packed with people who had standard tickets. And having no conductor checking on things just made it worse, turning a chaotic and miserable journey.
