Do my eyes deceive me, or has the eternally-locked-in-2000 site Thetrainline.com had a redesign... o.o

Ya know, you should join rails_n_tails. And post pictures. Of stuff.

It's certainly an improvement! The old design really got up my eye's tits, if my eyes had tits that is.

It has indeed. The full search page is still the same as ever though, save the redesign.

QJump (the former Midland Mainline Telesales + Internet offering, which National Express sold to Trainline in 2004) had a more radical redesign a few months back. They've also joined the ranks of online rail ticket retailers charging 50p for Self-Service Collection, and £1.00 for First Class Post. :-(

My personal favourite is the National Express East Coast site. It allows you to search for stations by name, three letter code or four digit code, groups Advance tickets together by operator so it'll show at a glance the cheapest ticket on a given train, and they don't charge for collection or normal post.

So it has. All they need to do now is to redesign it so that it's actually any good, and they'll be laughing. (I use the NXEC site, so perhaps my criticism is unfair, but Trainline was hopeless last time I used it.)

Indeed it has - it shocked me too. One minute my internet was completely down - then, when it came back on, the trainline had had a redesign. Weird.
