swampy Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 But is there a train home after the match?! Save money on travel for your trip to Pride Park! Don't forget to book your train ticket on the TrainAI app! (link: http://bit.ly/trainai-bcfc) bit.ly/trainai-bcfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never to the dark side Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 Of course there is a train home after the match at 06:10am on Wednesday morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted August 15, 2019 Admin Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 The App is crap there are much better one's out there The problem with this one is all the add ons after the fare is shown Split ticket or trainline are simpler and better sites to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider-Head23 Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 The app's only on android, pretty sure most have Iphone so that's not helpful. Plus split tickets on trainline well in advance of your travel date will always be the cheapest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFC II Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 Split ticket is easiest to use, and the cheapest. I wonder how much business TrainAI will actually get from sponsoring the club? Can't imagine it'll be of great advantage to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't thought of that, if it's with other clubs you'd assume so. Even still, with the amount they'd have put towards advertising it, you'd still have to wonder whether they'll get their money back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always Believesham Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 if you've got time (& patience) I would advise going through any split ticketing website until you can see the trains you would be booking on and then go through the trainline - you pay a commission-like amount of c.5% on split my fare from recollection. @swampy makes a good point though - London games are the only games most fans can get back from because of the time major trains stop running. Derby is the furthest I can go for an away game (North or South West) by train if I want to come back the same day (that's from a supposed second City).

One point - As far as I am aware you cannot choose your seats through the websites though, so you could get from Temple Meads to Cheltenham then get asked to move because you have someones reserved seats from Cheltenham, then move to your new reserved seats. Whether or not this has changed I don't know, but when I have done it a couple of years ago I have rang up National Rail for tickets and asked to keep the same seats.

Not as a whole no but when you add in young people & older people with cheap Samsung’s who companies can’t use to monetize I’d guess it’s more 65/35 in Apples favor.

Re confused face A large amount of Samsung’s 53% market share are children under 18 and adults over 60. These people do not use their phones to purchase products. If you don’t include them (as you can’t monetize them) & look at people that will make in-app purchases (as we’re talking about people that’ll use the trainAI) then Apple have a higher % of customers you can make money from. I always see people say Samsung have a higher market share so it makes sense to sell your products primarily to Android users. Marketing to Apple customers primarily is proven to be a more valuable way to sell your product. Also they use different programming languages, Swift (Apples) is much nicer to use.

bristolcitysweden Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 My advice is to use nationalrail.co.uk & journey planner about three months before your journey, Check your fare against the fare given one and two months before your journey and make up your mind when best to book for the best possible price. Don't you have schools in England?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
