@Leon380Leon@GracieLouFT It’s a complicated system & ticket sellers wouldn’t have knowledge of where to split tickets for every possible journey. It’d be impossible to learn! (Obvs the one today knew that particular spilt for you 👌🏻)
Since these split-ticket websites popped up, a review is underway!
@LauraCow Pipe down. Stop being so dramatic.
I never said they were perfect, and never would.
I was just pointing out how ridiculous your uneducated, unknowledgeable tweets are.
@Leon380Leon@GracieLouFT They’re not allowed to ‘offer’ split tickets. They can only sell them if the customer asks and specifies the exact locations to split them at.
So rather than praise, this ticket lady will probably get in trouble!
@Wild_Flower00 You have to buy at your 1st opportunity.
If there’s a ticket office/machine that’s your first opportunity.
If there isn’t, your 1st opportunity is the conductor.
No discrimination.
It’s detailed in the National Rail Conditions Of Travel - which is relevant to ALL train companies
@TylerHolpin The driver who brings it in probably isn’t the driver who will be taking it. So you have to wait for the driver or conductor who’s taking it.
They can’t leave the doors open when there’s no staff on board.
@LauraCow The most ridiculous and hilarious tweet 😂
Expects a company to spend £800m on trains before they know if they’ve got the contract!
And nobody said you had to wait 15 years for them 🤦🏻♂️
@jmaiden45 @RobinMoseley2 Doesn’t prove anything. Could have been 17.25:59secs.
Doors close up to 40secs before departure (e.g. 17:25:20). TfW usually leave it until 30 secs (17:25:30). Once doors are closed they can very rarely be reopened. No one can board then, so the train can leave anytime after that
@AnthonyStingl Not during peak times.
The carnet tickets are aimed at giving commuters a discount.
Railcards are aimed at giving off-peak discounts.
By allowing railcard discounts on carnet tickets it would give a double-discount. And encourage more travel at peak times.
@Nagpig On train monitoring system = Conductor.
Dispatch process (inc. closing doors) starts up to 40 seconds before scheduled departure time to ensure it leaves on time.
There are posters at stations to inform passengers.
This train left on time.
