Title: Ticketing gone mad ! Post by: Clan Line on July 15, 2024, 15:05:38 Today, my daughter booked some rail tickets on line, then went to her local station to collect them from the station machine.
Result: West Malling to Warminster and back = 2 tickets + 5 blank (?) seat resevations Warminster to Ryde (IoW) and back (2 persons/3 split tickets) = 12 tickets + 12 blank (?) seat reservations ...............and of course a collection receipt ! 32 bits of paper !! Good job she didn't have to pay for all that paper - that would have negated the split ticketing savings.

Never been unfortunate to turn up at the terminal and find my chosen flight full.

Passengers with seat reservations on a Cross Country Nottingham Cardiff service arguing with passengers sat in the seats they had reservations for. No reservation lablels on the train (Class 170 so no electronic system).
