How to get the cheapest UK train tickets: Government announces rival train ticket app The government has announced it will create a new online rail ticket marketplace to simplify the process of booking across different options.
The online hub would bring together individual train operators’ ticket websites to provide consumers with the best price possible.
It is understood that this will run alongside other private sector services like Trainline, which the Standard has approached for a response.

The Department for Transport (DfT) detailed plans on Wednesday for the model to take shape once the network has been renationalised under the Great British Railways banner.
