Trainline Plc experienced a significant decline today, with the stock dropping by 7.48% and reaching an intraday low of GBP 1.85. This performance contrasts sharply with the FTSE 100, which saw a modest gain of 0.56% on the same day. Over the past week, Trainline's stock has decreased by 4.47%, and its one-month performance reflects a decline of 9.96%.
