THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONTAINS INSIDE INFORMATION

Trainline CEO Jody Ford to step down after more than six years at the
Company

25(th) February 2026

Trainline plc ("Trainline", the "Company" or the "Group"), Europe's leading
independent rail travel platform, today announces that Jody Ford intends to
step down as Chief Executive Officer after more than six years at the
Company.

Jody will continue to lead Trainline as CEO through the transition to new
leadership.  The Board has commenced a formal search process for his
successor.

Brian McBride, Chair said: "Under Jody's leadership the Group has undergone a
period of exceptional growth. We have created Europe's #1 rail app serving 27
million customers, doubling net ticket sales in the UK and International
consumer businesses, more than doubling profits and growing new markets in
France, Spain and Italy.

"On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Jody for his outstanding
contribution and leadership during this important period in the Company's
development. Jody has built a world-class leadership team, who will continue
to execute against our strategic priorities during this transition period and
beyond."

Jody Ford, CEO said: "I'd like to thank Brian and the Board for the unique
opportunity to lead Trainline and to grow a British tech success into one
winning on the international stage.

"As Trainline enters its next multi-year phase of growth, I have agreed with
Brian this would be the right time to handover to new leadership. I will
work closely with the Board and my outstanding team over the coming months to
ensure a smooth transition and position Trainline strongly for its next
chapter."

The Board remains committed to the Company's current strategic priorities
and capital allocation framework. The Company today reconfirms
its previously-upgraded market guidance for FY2026 and will provide more
information at its trading update on 12(th) March 2026.
