Qjump
Online UK train ticket booking and reservation service - now
merged with TheTrainLine.com
If you're looking for online
train timetables in the UK, or looking to buy rail tickets
online, Qjump may be just what you are looking for.
Whether you're
booking First Class rail or standard, Qjump will deliver your
train tickets to you by First Class post! It is said, on the commercials,
that train tickets bought via The Train Line.com (QJump) can be 43% cheaper than
getting them at the station on the day of travel.
In the words of Qjump, "Qjump.co.uk
is the impartial rail ticketing website from the National Express
Group PLC providing the faster way
to buy train tickets online ... Qjump.co.uk provides fast and
easy access to timetables, tickets and fares for all National
Rail journeys across the UK. For the consumer this means
combining the speed and efficiency of the Internet with an
increasing need to save time wherever possible".
This is a useful service,
being able to buy rail tickets online, but also there is the
ability to check train times, look up train timetables, and
generally organise your rail travel in advance and without much
fuss. I think Qjump put it well when they say "Qjump.co.uk
offers the extensive choice of train journeys expected but
without the usual queues and hassle associated with buying a
train ticket! Benefit from the experience of the specialists in
rail and add extra content and value to your site".
See, that's why it's called Q Jump, not because you're jumping the queue in front of other people, but because you're just completely avoiding the queue altogether. So, if you're relaxing on a long train journey looking out of the window at the view swishing past and wondering who stuck that annoying sticker on the glass to obscure the view and thinking "mmm, Queue-Jump ?", don't think bad of them, they're actually trying to help!

How about this: "The
ability to check train times and purchase tickets is a valuable
add-on to many websites and Qjump.co.uk offers you the
opportunity to link through to this functionality".
Qjump and thetrainline merger: "You will probably have seen the news and press coverage about the merger of thetrainline and Qjump Ltd, which now consolidates thetrainline's position as the UK's leading rail retailer. The merger has seen thetrainline go from strength to strength, enhancing the customer proposition and developing the rail retailing sector to bring you 'the easy way to buy train tickets'"
Here's your chance to reserve seats on trains and beat the rush. Such is the journey planning service where you can plan your train journey.
Another thought: As well as being able
to get tickets by post, you can also collect them from a railway
station. A list of UK railway stations with self service kiosks
