RMT exposes destructive practices of ‘profiteering machine’ Trainline
Commuters at Waterloo Station in London

RAIL union RMT exposed the destructive practices of “profiteering machine” Trainline today as the firm reported a double-digit growth in revenues. 

The travel booking website reported that ticket sales in the six months to August 31 had jumped by 14 per cent to £3 billion, which boosted revenues by 17 per cent to £229 million. 

Before the announcement, RMT had surveyed 2,600 rail workers about the firm, uncovering numerous problems such as bogus tickets, excessive pricing and confusing fare options.
