Websites that don’t work. Thetrainline.com
Posted by Michael under Online Retail
Objective: Book a oneway ticket from to Manchester 7 days in advance. Simple enough I thought !
Response: “We cannot find any services that meet your request”.
My Comment: With 3 trains running per hour there certainly are services that meet my request. So I tried the the virgin trains website to make sure I wasn’t going mad. It did take a couple more steps to give me prices, but at least it gave me the information I needed.
Hopefully for thetrainline.com this only a temporary problem but it has already lost them business. A poor customer experience and I will not be returning to this website for a while.
Stage 1 Enter travel details.

Stage 2 Wait for prices and details.

Stage 3 Get told that there are no services meeting my requirements.

4. Give up and book a ticket at Virgin.
