Trainline posts £100m loss as sales drop through the floor Trainline has reported a huge £100m loss for the year as lockdown restrictions sent sales plummeting. The company reported an operating loss of £100m compared to an operating profit of £2m the previous year, as net ticket sales plummeted 79 per cent to £783m. The FTSE 250 firm’s revenue dropped 74 per cent from £261m to £67m at the end of February. It has been a challenging year for Trainline. At the start of the pandemic UK passenger volumes fell to around five per cent of the equivalent prior year period. Demand for rail journeys is likely to stay depressed for some time particularly as companies start to adopt a hybrid working approach.
