2nd January! How long before the various websites selling tickets will all offer appropriate journeys for people wanting to use the discount in the extended area, I wonder? Will some specific discounted tickets prove impossible to buy online?
- When requesting journeys in the extended area, the Annual Gold Card 'railcard' needs to become available for selection through all the relevant interfaces. (Obvious, surely, but one website I tried didn't do this...)
- When travelling North from Oxford through Birmingham with a Gold Card, the systems will need to offer journeys where you change train (XC to Chiltern) at Banbury just because your search specified a particular 'railcard' - and then know not to put you back onto XC at Birmingham.
- The nationalrail.co.uk 'Buy' button should stop sending people to websites that are incapable of selling the selected ticket! (Crowd source this information by having another link on the 'purchaseticket/handoff' page for trying an alternative provider letting people provide a reason optionally?)
