There was a bug in WebTIS a long time ago that used to show any Train between London Liverpool Street and Norwich with a First Advance priced up to ^999.90 being an option.

I made a slightly tongue in cheek tweet to GreaterAnglia and they recommended I purchase the First Anytime Single if that price actually ever came up for such a train! Grin

I know what Bob M means. Ever used a ticket machine, that doesn't respond when you keep pressing the  view screen, only for a member of staff to helpfully point out the little silver squares either side of the screen Huh For me to be one jump ahead of the technology, is like seeing snow on the pyramids ! Oh...............!
