What the Virgin Train Tickets app is for
Virgin Train Tickets is an app for buying rail tickets for journeys across Great Britain. The developer, Virgin Red Ltd, says it covers booking with train operators across the country, from one-off trips to regular travel.
The listing names commuting, weekend city breaks, family days out, theatre trips, countryside and coastal visits, university visits and business travel as the main uses. It also says the app can be used to book and track a journey and to earn rewards in the same place.
The store listing describes the app as suited to people planning autumn travel, though the same booking and ticket features apply at any time of year.
Searching, comparing and booking fares
Users search for train journeys, then compare the ticket options and departure times for each one. The listing says fares can include Advance, Off-Peak and flexible tickets.
Payment can be made by Apple Pay, PayPal or a debit or credit card, according to the listing. The store summary also refers to Railcards and split fares, and describes booking with no fees. Those points come from the developer's summary and are not described in the main listing text.
The developer says the whole booking, from search to payment, can be completed in a few taps.
Digital tickets and managing journeys
Once a booking is made, the ticket is stored in the app as a digital ticket on the phone. The listing says these are available straight away after purchase.
Journeys and bookings are kept in one place, so trips can be checked and managed without leaving the app. The developer says this includes managing bookings while on the move.
The app also offers journey tracking and service information for trips already booked.
Live train times, updates and seat selection
The app shows live train times and real-time travel updates. The listing says these are meant to be checked whenever a traveller needs them during a journey.
Seat selection is available on selected routes, according to the listing. Routes without it are not described.
The developer also lists service information and travel updates as ongoing features, separate from booking.
Earning and spending Virgin Points
Virgin Points are earned on eligible bookings, and the balance grows with each journey across Great Britain, the listing says.
The developer says points can be spent on travel, experiences, dining, entertainment and days out. The listing does not set out how points are valued or converted.
The points scheme is presented as part of the app, so anyone who wants to earn rewards on rail travel would use it alongside the ticket booking features.
