    Rail operators call for leisure fares (especially day returns) to increase

    If you say so. But my point still stands, any Government that allows this to happen on their watch will not be looked at favourably by the public. The transport secretary (whoever he/she is at the time) will get the blame for "raising commuters fares unfairly". I'd be very surprised if these...

    Rail operators call for leisure fares (especially day returns) to increase

    I think theres a bit of a panic on the forums. I don't believe these proposals will go through parliament. There will be too much of a public backlash for any government that institutes it.

    Not a particularly helpful comment from a "MOD". It sounds like you have a clear bias to the incumbents (who shall remain nameless). The problem with the market is a monopoly (oligopoly) where very few companies have retailing licenses. For a V1 app their app isn't a bad effort and should be...

    Booked a face-to-face in a few days time with ontrackretail. I will explore that option as well. You guys got any more ideas of suitable vendors?

    Thanks I will speak to them. Their technology stack looks very good. I do not think they have a third party retailing licence though so I would still need to get one from RDG before I can use ontrackrail.

    Morning, I've been a silent reader of this forum for a while and you all seem vey knowledgeable so I thought I'd ask here. I am building a rail application so users can buy train tickets online similar to any of the retailing websites. I am researching getting a full RDG third party retail...
