SWR keep promising that next year delay repay will be automated on advance tickets and season tickets. Whilst I can see how it works on the advances (it's worked very well for me on Virgin), how on Earth does it work on season tickets? Given you touch in for the station and not your exact train, how will it know if you've been delayed or not?
e.g. I often get to WAT very early before my regular train and sometimes that means I've touched in just before a previous less fast/spacious one leaves, or indeed at the other end I'll faff a bit before touching out. Does anybody with technical know-how know how such a system will work reliably in practice?
(apologies if its been asked before, I did a search but couldn't find anything specifically on this).
