TRAINLINE users have reported that the train ticketing app is not working amid a rise in reports.
It comes as a rise of over 500 user reports indicated that they were having trouble accessing Trainline via the website Downdetector.
Discussing the current outage, 58% have reported issues with the app, 39% with ticketing and 4% with the website.
Many users who are currently on trains for the morning commute are facing issues with getting their tickets.
Some took to Twitter, with one user writing: "WHY IS TRAINLINE NOT WORKING PLEASEEEE."
Currently, Trainline has not shared any information on the app's outage, however, via a customer reply on Twitter from West Midlands Railway, they shared: "I've just had information through from Trainline. All their powered sites and apps are affected at the moment."

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
