Trainline plc, the independent rail and coach ticketing platform, leverages its website and mobile app to aggregate millions of routes, fares and journey times across European carriers, allowing travellers to manage end‑to‑end journeys in a single place. Its scale and digital focus underpin its role as a key intermediary between transport operators and consumers in Europe’s rail and coach markets.

These shares will be cancelled, bringing total repurchases under the scheme to 41.5 million shares worth about £90.9 million and reducing the number of shares in issue to roughly 373.9 million, a move that can enhance earnings per share and slightly increase existing investors’ ownership stakes.
