SouthEastern HS1 Trial Service Finally Announced

I have had a reply to me query about Britrail Vailidity on the HS1 preview services (that's **Britrail validity**)services. You're going to enjoy the reply: Dear Mr J Smith (still not my name) Thank you for your website comment dated 1 June, concerning our high speed preview service. I can confirm that there is no free or reduced rate travel for rail staff (including those with Britrail Flexi-passes) on our high speed preview service. However, we're currently finalising the policy with the Association of Train Operating Companies (ATOC) and Rail Staff Travel about our high speed services. Thank you for taking the time to contact us. Yours sincerely David Geraghty Customer Relations Officer Southeastern I am of course left still wondering what happens if, like me, you're not ex-staff with a Britrail pass! tf I of course wonder why this ban on railway staff using the service is in place. To me it, a humble railway employee, it makes no sense whatsoever and could quite easily signal the demise of staff travel discounts which have been in place for decades. It is of course also worth noting that it doesn't do much to encourage use of the train by employees of the company who operate it! Like I said, any support I would have had for the HS1 venture is now gone. If you wish to **** on your own by not letting them use your service, discounted at least, then you do not deserve to succeed in my opinion!! |
