1. Refunded/ Refund Approved
You have provided all the needed information, completed the process, and dispatched your refund. You are more likely to receive your money within five days.
2. Refund Processing/ Refund Action Required
You may need to return your ticket or provide more information for the refund to be fully processed.
3. Refund Rejected
Trainline has been unable to process our refund, maybe because you've scanned your e-ticket or activated your Mobile Ticket. Trainline can only make refunds through the payment plan used to purchase the ticket. The process will continue whether your card has expired or not.
