Weekend!

[mofette]

Well, I'm now coming down to London on Sunday to see needler and nadnad and then say goodbye to Lisa on Monday.

What the fuck happened to thetrainline.com? Not only do they practically insist on insurance, they they charged me 50p for using a debit card. THEN they charged me 50p for picking it up from a machine in the lobby. Seriously? At least I'm going first class, so I can travel relaxed and sat down.

It didn't work? It's an .avi file, not a dvd although it plays on ours. Shame really :(

Use one of the train company clones of TTL, they mostly haven't adopted any of the extra charges, I tend to use http://www.eastmidlands.trainsfares.co.uk/

nationalexpresseastcoast.com are good - they don't charge extra fees and actually give a 10% discount for booking online. I booked a return ticket from Leeds to London from them for only £13.30 earlier.

TheTrainline's engine is used almost universally for purchasing rail tickets. Some bright spark has thought "Hey, if we charge a little bit of money for the convenience of, say, ACTUALLY PICKING UP YOUR TICKETS ANYWHERE, we can make £loads!".

I'm glad you can make it down, although wish it was in different circumstances.

it is indeed lots of shit - I booked the other week to go to Manchester, got charged the 50p for using my debit car AND £1 for the tickets to go in first class post - last time I checked, first class post was NOT £1. tight bastards! think from now on I'm just going to go to the station and book there instead!
