Little Bits of Cardboard
I took this picture at some time on the journey to Scunthorpe, possibly between Peterborough and Doncaster sitting comfortably in First on East Coast and it shows one of the problems of complicated journeys on trains.
British Rail Tickets
On my trip from Saturday until this morning, I collected eighteen of these little orange tickets. Some incidentally, were marked “NOT VALID FOR TRAVEL”
Surely, those in charge of our railways could do better!
But let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater and make the ticketing dependent on a smart phone. I am old enough to never need a replacement for my Nokia 6310i and if you can’t do it on that, I’m not interested!
So perhaps we need just one orange ticket per trip,that is the same as the ones we have now,but has a bar code printed on the face, so that it can be read by a simple reader in the conductor’s hand on the train.
