Trainline hits out at tube strikes and fare freeze as growth stalls

Trainline has reported that UK consumer net ticket sales remained flat at £2.1bn for the six months ending in August. The FTSE 250 ticketing platform attributed this stall in growth to the government's regulated rail fare freeze and disruptions caused by London Tube strikes. Additionally, the company cited the impact of hot weather as a contributing factor to the stagnant sales performance during this period, highlighting these external pressures on its overall financial growth.
