@DaveThackeray That sounds exactly like me. Sorry. Still, isn’t it wild that we used to be allowed to be in the same room as other people?

[Michael Stead @MichaelStead]

@DaveThackeray How on earth did I do that?

@northernassist If you had to get from BSV to PRE in time for the 1459 to Euston, which train would you get? Bonus points if you pick one that’s not cancelled.

@davenoatte @Squonkster @MBirdWriting Be right back, I’m just off down the pachinko arcade.

[Michael Stead @MichaelStead]

@northernassist It doesn’t give the option to anyone if you hide it somewhere illogical.

[Michael Stead @MichaelStead]

@northernassist Why don’t your machines sell the discounted two person rail tickets? You’ve ripped me off for a fiver because your staffed station isn’t staffed.

[Michael Stead @MichaelStead]

@northernassist Wouldn’t they just use the payment card at the machine in that case?

[Michael Stead @MichaelStead]

@northernassist Then other than someone who wants to pay by card for an unavailable ticket and somehow stumbles on the promise to pay option concealed behind the cash option, what are the use cases for it?

[Michael Stead @MichaelStead]

@northernassist Thanks, I will. Out of interest, how would a promise to pay work for someone who wants to pay with cash but doesn’t have any? Do station staff at their destination escort them to a cash machine?

[Michael Stead @MichaelStead]

@northernassist You realise this doesn’t apply to my circumstances though, don’t you? I wanted to buy a ticket which for some reason your machine doesn’t offer. I paid by card, not cash. It feels like sharp practice, and that the option is deliberately buried.

[Michael Stead @MichaelStead]

@northernassist It turns out that you’ve hidden promise to pay. Why on earth would I select the Cash option to find it? https://t.co/OCOM5o0NQt

[Michael Stead @MichaelStead]

@northernassist Buckshaw Parkway. If there is a promise to pay button, I have yet to find it.

[Michael Stead @MichaelStead]

@northernassist I can’t, because it doesn’t work. Why don’t the machines offer the ticket?

[Michael Stead @MichaelStead]

@davenoatte @Squonkster Dream gig.

[Michael Stead @MichaelStead]

@DaveThackeray That’s ace!
