(thetrainline.com) All need to use this shitbag site has been removed
I used to use thetrainline ALL the time, the interface may well have been cripplingly bad but at least it stopped you having to leaf through scores of privatised rail lines to get the right tickets. I went on there just now to book a train ticket to newcastle (£35) so not only are they SUDDENLY charging 50p to collect your tickets from the station – yeah that’s right, to collect the tickets they have to print out anyway – there’s also at least a 50p charge on using any card – outrage! So I went over to nationalrail.co.uk (who I hear have improved a great deal from the – well we’ll tell you when the train is coming but you have to book the ticket yourself days) and the ticket was £31 and there was NO additional charges. My case rests, euthinkyouu.
