Trainline ( (GB:TRN) ) has shared an update.

Trainline has continued executing its £150 million share buyback, repurchasing 827,630 ordinary shares between 30 March and 2 April 2026 on the London Stock Exchange and multilateral trading facilities via Morgan Stanley. The shares, bought at volume-weighted average prices ranging from about 211p to 225p, will be cancelled, further reducing the company’s share capital.

In total, Trainline has acquired 41.1 million shares under the programme to date, at an aggregate cost of about £89.9 million, leaving 374.3 million ordinary shares in issue and none held in treasury. The shrinking share count is likely to enhance earnings per share and signals ongoing capital returns to investors, while also affecting ownership thresholds relevant for disclosure under UK transparency rules.
