    New National Rail website

    New web site is absolutely crap as compared with the old one, its hard work when you want to look at forthcoming engineering works. Why can,t they leave things alone, some things work Ok for years before some idot comes along and changes things and often no longer works properly.

    No ticket office available at Brighton?

    Look at York on LNER that,s not in full view like it used to be, ticket offices don,t bring in rent revenue and a percentage of the takings like shops etc do.
