I Buy My Train Tickets On Abellio Greater Anglia

I’ve started buying some of my train tickets on the Abellio Greater Anglia web site.

The reasons are as follows.

1. I can buy any UK ticket, without having to bother with loyalty schemes.
2. Some companies automatically subscribe you to their junk mail.
3. It is a simple site cut to the basics.

I think the best thing to do, is get a site you like and use it for all non-simple purchases.

The simple purchases like a Day Off-Peak Return between Here and There, I buy from the machines at Dalston Junction or Dalston Kingsland stations, as the prices are the same as the Internet, but without any login, passwords or eight-digit codes to remember.

I even bought tickets from Edinburgh to Tweedbank from the machines before the Borders Railway opened and they were inspected many times.

Note that on many machines in Europe you can buy tickets between two stations, so I suspect that some rail companies in the UK might not offer the facility, so that they capture your details on-line.
