[@Thornaby37]

A disgraceful proposal, which fails to take into account people with disabilities and those who aren't familiar with the complexities of railway ticketing

[@AbsoluteTVYT]

You chose a day return, and only Avanti offer day returns on that route. TfW only do period (1 month) returns.

[@Rail_Focus]

Shouldn't be that complicated though. It should be intuitive

The government and train operators just doesn’t care how it will affect people. As long as it saves them money.

[@Rail_Focus]

Mostly the Government's doing, TOCs have to sing to the Government's hymn sheet, but there's little benefit for them as they receive a fee directly from the Government regardless and won't see any increase in profits

[@MrGreatplum]

It’s such a bad idea to close ticket offices

[@Rail_Focus]

Yup, there's no way "technology" is up to the job of replacing experienced staff.

[@caramelldansen2204]

When has government ever looked out for us? It's always been about money for money's sake.

[@oldtechnobodycaresabout]

Even TFW can't manage it

[@DonaldTrumpIsGreat]

At Least TFW Are Safe They Haven't Been Targeted By The Government 👍

[@Rail_Focus]

And Merseyrail.

[@DonaldTrumpIsGreat]

@@Rail_Focus Well That's Great Save Them 👍

[@DonaldTrumpIsGreat]

Hopefully Other Operator's Including Greater Anglia Great Northern Thameslink TFL Train Services Among Others Have Not Been Targeted 👍

[@DonaldTrumpIsGreat]

[@DonaldTrumpIsGreat]

​@@Rail_FocusThey've Also Caused Confusion And Delays On Our Network And For Example With SWR and Their New Class 701s 6 Year's Late
