Brian McBride Chair

Trainline plc ('Trainline' or the 'Company') will be holding a General Meeting (the 'General Meeting') on Thursday, 29 January 2026 at 120 Holborn, London, EC1N 2TD with the meeting set to start at 8:30am.
The official business of the General Meeting is set out on page 3 of this notice of General Meeting (the 'Notice').
At our last Annual General Meeting, held on 26 June 2025 (the '2025 AGM'), shareholders authorised the Company to make market purchases of up to 43,172,978 of its Ordinary Shares ('Shares'), which represented 10% of the Company's issued share capital as at 6 May 2025 (the 'AGM Buyback Authority').
Since the 2025 AGM, the Company has purchased 26,535,859 Shares under the buyback programme in place at the time of the 2025 AGM and under the £150 million enhanced buyback programme announced 11 September 2025 (the 'Buyback Programme'), thereby utilising 61% of the AGM Buyback Authority and we expect that the remaining capacity of the AGM Buyback Authority will be fully utilised before the Company's next Annual General Meeting in 2026 ('2026 AGM').
The Directors of the Company (the 'Board' or 'Directors') therefore seek additional authority to make market purchases of up to a maximum of 59,838,098 Shares, being 14.99% of the Company's issued share capital as at 6 January 2026, for the period between the General Meeting and the 2026 AGM, in order to provide the Board with sufficient headroom to continue the Buyback Programme, in line with the Company's capital allocation framework. The Directors will exercise this authority only when doing so would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders generally.
More information on the capital allocation framework is available on page 82 of the FY2025 Annual Report.
Your vote is important so I strongly encourage you to submit a proxy vote in advance of the General Meeting and appoint the chair of the General Meeting as your proxy with directions as to how to cast your vote on the resolution proposed, even if you intend to join the General Meeting in person. The notes on page 4 explain how you can submit your proxy vote electronically. Alternatively, if you are not equipped to submit electronically, the accompanying proxy card provides details on how you can submit your proxy vote by post.
If you have any questions that relate to the business of the General Meeting, I invite you to submit them via email to [email protected] before the General Meeting takes place. We will maintain a list of responses to frequently asked questions in relation to our General Meeting on our website at www.trainlinegroup.com/AGM.
The Directors consider the resolution set out in this Notice to be proposed at the General Meeting, to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. The Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of the resolution as they intend to do so in respect of their own beneficial shareholdings.

Notice is hereby given that a general meeting of Trainline plc (the 'Company') will be held at 8:30am on Thursday, 29 January 2026 at 120 Holborn, London, EC1N 2TD to consider and vote on the resolution below (the 'Resolution'). The Resolution will be proposed as a special resolution.

{3}------------------------------------------------
Where no specific instruction is given, your proxy may vote at his/her own discretion or refrain from voting, as he or she sees fit. You can appoint more than one proxy in relation to the General Meeting provided that each is appointed to exercise the rights attaching to different shares held by you. Details of how to appoint a proxy are set out in the notes to the Proxy Form.
You may vote on the resolution by proxy online at www.shareview.co.uk.
If you are unable to vote electronically, you may still vote via post by completing and returning your Proxy Form to Equiniti Limited, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex, BN99 6DA.
To be valid your proxy instruction must be received by Equiniti at least 48 hours before the appointed time of the General Meeting, that is to say, no later than 8:30am on 27 January 2026. Voting online is quicker, more environmentally sustainable and more secure than paper voting.
You can register the appointment of a proxy or proxies or voting instructions for the General Meeting electronically by visiting www.shareview.co.uk. You will need to create an online portfolio using your Shareholder Reference Number which is printed on your Proxy Form. Once logged in simply click 'View' on the 'My Investments' page, click on the link to vote and follow the on-screen instructions. Full details of the procedures are given on the website. The proxy appointment and/or voting instructions must be received by Equiniti at least 48 hours before the appointed time of the General Meeting, no later than 8:30 a.m. on 27 January 2026. Please note that any electronic communication sent to the Company or the Registrar that is found to contain a computer virus will not be accepted. The use of the internet service in connection with the General Meeting is governed by Equiniti Limited's conditions of use set out on the website, www.shareview.co.uk.
{4}------------------------------------------------
Any person to whom this Notice is sent who is a person nominated under section 146 of the Companies Act to enjoy information rights (a 'Nominated Person') may, pursuant to an agreement between him/her and the shareholder by whom he/she was nominated, have a right to be appointed (or to have someone else appointed) as a proxy for the General Meeting. If a Nominated Person has no such proxy appointment right or does not wish to exercise it, they may, pursuant to any such agreement, have a right to give instructions to the shareholder as to the exercise of voting rights.
The rights relating to proxies set out above do not apply directly to Nominated Persons. The rights to appoint proxies can only be exercised by registered holders of shares.
For a proxy appointment or instructions made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a CREST Proxy Instruction) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited's (EUI) specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or is an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy, must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent (ID RA19) no later than 8:30am on 27 January 2026, or, in the event of an adjournment of the General Meeting, 48 hours before the adjourned meeting. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time, any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.
CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that EUI does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular message. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member, or has appointed a voting service provider(s), to procure that his/her CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In connection thereto, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.
The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
If you are an institutional investor you may be able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proxymity platform, a process which has been agreed by the Company and approved by the Registrar. For further information regarding Proxymity, please go to www.proxymity.io. Your proxy must be lodged by 8:30am on 27 January 2026 in order to be considered valid. Before you can appoint a proxy via this process you will need to have agreed to Proxymity's associated terms and conditions. It is important that you read these carefully as you will be bound by them and they will govern the electronic appointment of your proxy.
{5}------------------------------------------------
Any corporation which is a shareholder can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise, on its behalf, all its powers as a shareholder provided that no more than one corporate representative exercises powers over the same share.
If two or more corporate representatives purport to vote in respect of the same shares:
You may not use any electronic address provided either in this Notice or any related documents to communicate with the Company for any purposes other than those expressly stated.

This resolution will authorise the Company to make market purchases of up to 59,838,098 Shares, being 14.99% of the Company's issued share capital as at 6 January 2026, being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this document, and specifies the minimum and maximum prices at which the Shares may be bought. This authority will expire at the conclusion of the 2026 AGM unless such authority is varied, revoked or reviewed prior to such date by a special resolution of the Company at a general meeting. Renewal of this authority is likely to be sought at the Annual General Meeting each year.
The Directors confirm that they will exercise this buyback authority only when, in light of the prevailing market conditions, and in accordance with the capital allocation framework, they consider such purchases would be in the best interests of the Company and shareholders, generally. More information on the capital allocation framework is available on page 82 of the FY2025 Annual Report.
Any Shares purchased would be effected by a purchase in the market and may either be cancelled or held as treasury shares, which may then be cancelled, sold for cash or used to meet the Company's obligations under its employee share schemes. As at 6 January 2026, being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this document, the total number of options to subscribe for Shares in the Company was 20 million (approximately 5.0% of the Company's issued share capital and approximately 5.9% of the Company's issued share capital if the full authority proposed by Resolution 1 was used and the Shares purchased were cancelled).
