Be smarter.
Spend less on train travel with Railsmartr.
As an independent retailer of train tickets, we're on your side. We aim to find you the cheapest fares and we’ll never charge refund fees if you’re not able to travel.
Our mission is to always find you the cheapest fares. With the train fares structure being insanely complex, it’s a pretty difficult task. How do we do it? Our algorithm is set to find the cheapest fares, while some other retailers look for the fastest trains. So we can find you the cheapest tickets, even if it means some of the journeys we find take a little longer.
We’re committed to our ‘no extra charges policy’, so we never add any fees – not even for refunds. Why should you pay extra fees just to get your train tickets? Or because your plans change? Exactly!
Our team has been selling train tickets online since 2008, so we’re experts at what we do. We can help you find the best value train tickets, decide when it’s cheapest to travel and give you handy tips to make train travel easier. To make your journey even better, we’ve got some exciting additions coming soon, like our unique airline-style seat picker. So watch this space.

Best ticket retailer
Railsmartr is the best retailer for UK train tickets. It offers excellent, friendly and fast customer service along with detailed blogs giving unbiased advice on railway related topics such as which operators first class is worth it.
It's biggest unique selling point is no fees on amendments and refunds. This puts other retailers to shame. Railsmartr allows you to confidently book in advance without the worry of losing out financially. For me, this saves me £1.20 per day on my commute to university (£180 a year) as I'm able to book the cheapest advance tickets 1-2 weeks before. If plans change I just pay the 60p difference in fare to amend my ticket to an earlier or later service, or change to another day.
There's a few disadvantages to railsmartr such as no app, no account feature, no routing (via/avoid) feature, no split tickets, however flexibility and customer service far outweighs this in my opinion. I'm sure these features will eventually be added, browser autofill of details/card info and using other sites to find split ticketing opportunities (and then returning to railsmartr to purchase) are ways to reduce the impact of these disadvantages. The design and information given to you in the booking process is excellent and accurate.
Overall I strongly encourage you to use railsmartr, you never know when your plans will change. Having this guarented flexibility and fast customer service protects your money!

minor issue with ticket collection
would let me buy tickets with zilch but unable to collect as needed a physical card for the ticket machine.
Understandably annoyed at the time but this was refunded after a few emails and they have agreed that this needs to be looked into to make clearer going forward
Now resolved so thank you Anna

Excellent customer service
I buy my train tickets regularly with this company and can’t fault their customer service, always efficient and very courteous. They also don’t charge any amendment/cancellation fees which is also a bonus compared to their competitors.

Amazing service
I booked travel online using the Railsmartr website (super easy and efficient). However, within a few hours my plans were inadvertantly changed. I dropped Railsmartr an email to see what my options were, and in less than 20 minutes I received a personal response (from Sonia) confirming that I could cancel my tickets with a full refund. Now that is service!

Railsmartr Stole Funds Intentionally
Railsmartr has intentionally kept funds that should have been refunded.Our train traveled was canceled due to Covid so we immediately followed the directions for refund. The reply was to email the Booking reference and then they said "we will do the rest". For a year they not only did not refund us, they did not communicate again, did not send a single email that due to being "overwhelmed" they were not going to process refunds. We were supposed to somehow guess that there was to be a process to, from another country, process our own refund. How exactly would we know this? Railsmartr had every means to communicate this and did not. Now they say that although they didn't tell us how to refund, we missed the refund. One email would have resolved it but they did not want to--how many other passangers did they simply "keep" the money of? This corporate larcency is upsetting. What values does Railsmartr have? None.
**Their reply below does not accept responsibility that our request for refund was made back in March 2020. They just never handled it, won't even exchange the tickets for use now, and prefer to blame the passenger. Not impressed.

I'm really sorry to hear about your experience. We always try to support our customers but were not prepared for the huge volume of refund requests which came our way during the first wave of the pandemic. In your case the ticket was booked for travel in March 2020 and the window for refunds closed in September 2020. We temporarily gave customers the option for self-service refunds on the site, which many customers used successfully to get a refund. I'm sorry that this was no longer available when you came to contact us again. I hope to welcome you back to rail at some time in the future.
With very best wishes, Anna
