Yup, used the trainline app, seems pretty good as I don't have a working bank account and if I fuck up I can get a ticket bought for me than goes to the phone, don't need to mess around picking up advance tickets paid for on someone else's card either. Only tried it from Brum to Manc and Manc to Sheffield though.

Anyone buy train tickets on their phone? Saw someone today with one, although there was some problem with it. I missed a train today because I forgot to buy a ticket changing from TfL to rail at Stratford and realised with only a few min to go. I wondered if I could've bought a ticket for the train on my phone in time? Or got one from the next station since i was still in London zones. Do they need to be validated at ticket barriers or do you just have to have it on you?
