Award winning online travel retailer redspottedhanky.com has launched a mobile app, enabling customers to book train tickets on the move, whilst benefitting from all the great features that come with booking through the innovative website.

The new free app offers consumers the best value of any independent rail retailer available in the app store, as well as the opportunity to compile valuable loyalty points for use against future rail travel.

Redspottedhanky’s app, available across all platforms, cements their commitment to providing customers with the easiest, most user friendly experience with no additional card or booking fees. Further developments are planned, including the inclusion of live train times.

Redspottedhanky offers mobile consumers a seamless user experience, which allows users to view train times and fees on one easy to use page, resulting in less confusion and the best deal for all.

James Bain, director at redspottedhanky.com said: “We are proud to unveil our new mobile app, as well as making sure our customers are getting the cheapest rail fares, we are now able to offer them the ease of booking on the move through their phones.”

Bain continued: “The ability to build up and spend loyalty points through our app is another reason why we expect the Redspottedhanky app to become a part of rail travellers everyday lives. Redspottedhanky is the only place where rail travellers can accumulate loyalty points and it is the only independent retailer which charges no additional booking fees.”
