Trainline has reported a “robust” set of figures in its latest annual results, which the rail travel platform said was in line with its trading expectations.

The group announced a 7% increase in net ticket sales to £6.3bn, as its revenue rose by 2% to £453m.

Trainline was releasing a trading statement covering the 12-month period to 28 February and revealed that both ticket sales and revenue had come in at the upper end of its guidance. The company said this was supported by continued growth of ancillary revenues, including hotel and insurance sales, which were up by 17%.

In the UK, Trainline’s consumer net ticket sales totalled £4.1bn, a level 6% up on last year, as the group cited continued strength in leisure travel sales as well as a recovery in the commuter market. Revenue in its UK consumer business totalled £204m, which was down by 2% compared to last year, however.

Trainline CEO, Jody Ford, said: “The group delivered a robust trading performance, in line with previously raised expectations. Revenue growth was at the upper end of guidance and we expect a double-digit percentage increase in adjusted EBITDA with strong cash generation, underpinned by cost discipline and operating leverage.

“In the UK, we focused on deepening and strengthening engagement across our 18 million customers, supported by the expansion of our digital railcard base. This helped mitigate the impact of rail operators promoting features on their own online channels that we are not permitted to offer.”

Trainline confirmed it will publish its annual results for the 2026 financial year on 6 May.
