I've booked a two day itinerary, travelling today and tomorrow, from Trainsplit, with a whole big stack of reservations. Unfortunately this has already gone badly wrong on the first leg. There's a woman already in the seat for which I hold a reservation. But so does she (I've seen it) and she started a massive row when apparently I sighed in a way she decided was rude.
Two reservations. Same seat. FML.
The Cross Country train manager blames Trainsplit for 'not uploading the reservations' and says 'this is what you get when you use third parties on the internet' and he's 'had dealings with them before' and he's away as fast as possible to share his lack of empathy with the rest of the train.
So I'm now doomed to play Whose Bum Wins for the rest of the weekend and self-censoring my sighs in case some dismal punter is cruising for a row. And my SIM provider doesn't support sending texts to the Cross Country ten-minute reservation cray-cray-payola line.
I don't care a damn about the rail industry's internal chaos, but it would be nice if they didn't export it onto honest customers, but now that I'm a victim of incompetence from *someone*, I'd damn well like to know Who, and Why, and what are my reasonable expectations to be made whole?
