I reached out to Trainline, and they’ve got an 0333 202 2222 number which charges a fair 2p per minute. However, this other number is definitely a scam and isn’t affiliated with them. It could just be redirecting calls to the genuine 033 number!

Absolutely appalled with Virgin Trains! I just spent £26 due to your messed-up lines! I'm absolutely furious - what a shambles! The ticket prices are already steep without having to pay for a call to find out what the issue is! This is utterly unacceptable!

TRAINLINE - I was slapped with a £12 fee just for having to phone up and sort out their blunder! Absolutely outrageous!

I got hit with a £7.80 fee when trying to sort out a train ticket through Trainline – what a complete swindle! Honestly, next time I’ll just book it online myself. The whole experience was just maddening. I was left hanging on the phone while he fiddled about checking prices; no wonder he kept me waiting! Absolutely exasperating. By the way, the number was 08712441545.

Beware of ringing 08712441545; it's linked to Trainline. I ended up paying £5.37 just to recoup £6.60! No surprise he made me wait ages, claiming he needed to consult a supervisor. What a farce!

Absolutely right! Just spent £1.96 on a call to Trainline regarding an issue with my train reservation. It was an offshore call centre, and it turned into a complete waste of time. I've firmly decided it's best to avoid calling them in the future!

Just received a bill for £8.40 for a brief chat with the train line's customer service team. I certainly won't be doing that again!

I rang up the train line to find out where I could collect my ticket, and to my surprise, I ended up being charged £11. What an absolute scam! 08712441545, 8th January 2017. This really feels like a daylight robbery in the UK! How on earth do they manage to slip through the cracks with practices like this?

I parted with £15 and I'm feeling a bit miffed about it. 😔

Absolutely not going near Trainline ever again! What a bunch of robbers! I was left in limbo, having to go over the same points repeatedly for no good reason. I had to shift my ticket dates because I wasn’t well, and they just droned on with unneeded politeness. It’s a shame that future customers don’t seem to be forewarned about this company’s shoddy service!

Just noticed I've been charged £17 for calls to Trainline! Apparently, there's a 55p per minute access fee, which caught me completely off guard. Really not happy about this, it feels quite unfair!

I can't believe what I've just experienced! I forked out £5.13 just to speak on the phone, and then they had the nerve to quote me £77.50 for a train ride that should've only been £41 at the ticket counter! It's absolutely ludicrous! I'm so relieved I decided to double-check before completing my online booking. When I looked again three or four days later, the fare had skyrocketed to a staggering £103! This company is a complete con. I strongly advise against using their services. Total rip-off!

I'm absolutely appalled at the extortionate fees they've slapped on their calls. There's no way I'll be giving this company my business again. They hit me with a whopping £13.00 just for a brief 10-minute chat! What a rip-off!

I recently used trainline.com to organise my travel arrangements online, but, to my astonishment, I never received the confirmation email. What’s more, I had to fork out £9.70 for their so-called 'Help Line' just to rectify an issue that stemmed from their own system glitch. It’s absolutely outrageous! I really think this sort of behaviour should be treated as a serious offence – it's nothing short of a scandalous scam!

It's definitely Trainline, without a shadow of a doubt! I was hit with a £7.57 fee just for giving them a bell. To top it off, I was left on hold for a good 3 to 4 minutes, making the bill even steeper. What a rip-off!

I just received a call from this number that set me back a whopping £5.13 for a duration of 20 minutes and 54 seconds. I'm still at a loss as to who the caller might be. Does anyone have any clues about the owner of this number?

I've only just received my phone bill for number 08712441545, and it’s absolutely no surprise why these companies go to great lengths to keep you tied in for longer. The bill dated 7th March 2011 shows a service charge that’s quite hefty for what it is—£20 for G700:39:474. We reckon that’s rather overpriced!

I suspect that this number, 08712441545, belongs to Trainline, possibly for customer service or booking inquiries.

Just received our latest bill, and it’s becoming quite evident why these folks try to extend your contract. On 7th March 2011 at 18:32, I noticed the number 08712441545 has charged us £4 for a lengthy call lasting nearly 40 minutes. Rather extortionate, if you ask me!

I found myself being billed £2.24 by my mobile provider for calling this number, as it's a non-geographic one. Honestly, I just wanted to sort out my train tickets!

I was quite taken aback by the steep fees associated with calling these individuals. I certainly won’t be picking up the phone to them again. By the way, the person I had the misfortune of speaking to was rather dismissive, to say the least.

I noticed this number pop up on our bank statement. What's that all about?

Received a couple of missed calls from this number—maybe three? I’m not inclined to pick up or return the call, that’s for sure!

We've noticed that our phone bill reflects a charge for a call that we didn't actually place.

We only chatted with them for 14 fleeting seconds, but can you believe how that stacks up to a whole minute? Quite amusing, isn't it?

I noticed a charge of £7.42 on my statement for this number, didn’t have a clue it was anything out of the ordinary. I reckon it was for train schedules or something similar.

Ah, that would be the website for thetrainline.com, wouldn't it?

Haven’t the faintest idea who this number belongs to, but it set me back a whopping £6.62! Looks like it’s linked to my Vodafone contract.

Received a charge of £9.27...

Just a heads up, yazza: it took a mere seven seconds when we spent 80 pence. It's all about our connection with the media and Virgin, you know?

Just a heads up, everyone: we were charged 80 pence for a mere seven seconds of usage. My provider? Virgin Media, if anyone's curious.
