By EC Assets · Published 11 September 2026

Trainline shares experienced a jump on Friday, following positive financial updates. The company reported first-half sales and revenue figures that surpassed forecasts. Trainline shares rose more than 3% during Friday's trading session. Trainline Plc shares closed at UK£3.12, marking a 10.0% increase. The company reiterated its full-year guidance. It also announced a new GBP100 million share buyback program. Previous reports indicated a slowdown in Trainline's first-half sales. This slowdown occurred amidst a rail fare freeze, strikes, and a heatwave. Trainline had forecast "strong growth" for the current year. It expected revenue to exceed pre-pandemic levels, ranging from 280 million pounds to 310 million pounds. Core earnings were projected between 70 million pounds and 75 million pounds. Trainline raised its full-year revenue forecast on a previous Monday. This was the second increase in less than two months, driven by strong demand. Earlier, Trainline shares had jumped 12% on a Thursday. This followed an upbeat full-year revenue forecast that largely beat market expectations. That forecast was attributed to a strong travel recovery. Analysts previously lifted their price target for Trainline Plc to UK£3.30. This article is intended for informational purposes only.
