    Anyone contracts for thetrainline.com website?

    Well, if you are then you are prized cretin of the highest order of SasGuru!

    FFS, trying to buy tickets, failed for some reason then just few mins past midnight and the whole site is in "maintenance" mode, ffs - if you want to do it then do it at 5am, even NickFitz will be sleeping at the time!

    Now I'll have to pay double the price

    Have you thought about driving Alex? Should be a lot cheaper, even in an Aston.

    Or are you getting wellied at the client site?

    And yes, I hate public transport: the train I wanted to get this arvo was cancelled - and I don't even get the train.

    Here's a quick vid to get you in the mood (NSFW)

          The android app is easier to use than their website on a computer.

            And you know there are 5 Lithuanians eating pizza and playing poker in the British Telecommunications server rooms!

              Add to this they could not process transaction in modern firefox because it has 3rd party cookies disabled by default, so 3D secure won't work - cretins there should not rely on this tulip if major browser ships with settings turned off ffs.

              btw, going to London today to discuss with sasguru chances of new global financial crisis and how we can prevent it from happening (if we feel like it).



              P.S. Driving ain't cheaper - £24 return on fast train is ok price.

                Why don't you just use another train ticket site?

                  Just make sure the hand over the booking fee. We don't do this site maintenance for free you know.


                  Incidentally you can book you tickets without a booking fee on National Rail Enquiries - Official source for UK train times and timetables

                  If I set up a site can wwww.datrainline.co.uk I wonder if the sheep would folk in their droves with booking fees for me
