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.
