It's a shame they still use a network map that makes it look like
anyone in Salisbury who wants to get to Southampton or Eastleigh
would be better off walking or going via Basingstoke.

Already ****ed off with it pestering me for my location everytime I
change pages.

There's a box to tick to "remember" your answer.
Shouldn't be necessary, poor web design.


Anyway their map is virtually unreadable, even on a big monitor.

Unzoomable it appears too.

The ticket-buying facility sucks big-time too.
You have to set up a new account, why can't they just use your

The Data Protection Act probably prevents this

Fullstop.

under their terms and conditions.

The DPA trumps the T&C in any event.

I use separate emails addresses for all my suppliers so I wouldn't want
my account transferred.

I note they have an incomplete list of railcards so I wont be using them.

This is an ongoing trend. When I had TfL u my senior card onto my Oyster
recently, the only option the hilariously mardy and untrained roving
chappie had to pick was "National Rail Cards". He insisted they were all
treated as one now when it came to validity (mainly time of day, I
suppose). I very much doubt that!
