Bastard SW Trains

[Panda Paws]

Just listening to a report about SW Trains regarding their new policy of ticketless passengers. If the ticket office is really busy or the station you board the train at does not have a ticket booth, therefore meaning you need to by a ticket on the train, they are going to cain you for your ticket.

The example used was Weymouth to London £35, on the train it's £87....how the fuck can they justify this?? maybe they should try and get from Soton to Reading on a friday afternoon and get a ticket before hand, not every one can get their tickets in advance, and they've admitted they do not have enough ticket booths, yet still employing this stupid rule!

isn't it illegal when you can't buy a ticket at the station? i've had rows with conductors before and they always give in cos they don't get paid enough to deal with arseholes like me.

i think they have automatic machines at some, and you are probably right, but i'm sure there are a few poxy little ones where you can't

i always book online in advance to get cheap tickets, weirdly 1st class at weekends is often cheaper when you book 4-7 days in advance. (i use trains most weekends)
