Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • We liked Trainline for UK, we use SNCF app when only travelling in France.
  • Avoid weekends/peak hours and compare prices with Trainline/Omio.
  • Trainline is the most polished booking app for Western Europe trains.

Cons

  • You can try trainline.com and rome2rio.com. But the experience is not nearly as smooth or reliable as in Skyscanner.
  • I have no idea what Trainline is but generally I would always advice to buy directly at the operators instead of 3rd party
  • I used “Trainline” app at the time. Is this still the best/recommended app?
  • The way platforms like Trainline, Rail Europe, and Omio work is that they buy the underlying ticket from the operator, say Trenitalia or SNCF, at one price, then add their service fee on top.
