I remember the days of queuing for ages at ticket offices and then missing trains as a result. It is entirely logical that advance booking should be cheaper and everything should be done to encourage “online” bookings. Whilst of course walk on fares must be retained, it is an expensive luxury and maybe the train companies need to reduce their overheads (staff/equipment) on tickets sales. Charging for online sales reverses this by putting more pressure on ticket offices. IP : 128.243.104.17 |
