Hi,
I’m currently travelling from Shrewsbury to Helensburgh. I’ve got my tickets via ‘Rail Easy’, and the journey is using split tickets, Shrewsbury to Wellington, Wellington to Birmingham New Street (one train).
From there it’s another train to Edinburgh, with many separate segments - to Derby, York, Darlington, Berwick upon Tweed then a final ticket from Berwick to Helensburgh. The journey details clearly shows this, along with the change at Edinburgh from the Cross Country that gets in at 1657 (that I’m currently sat on) to the Scot Rail service, departing at 1710 to Helensburgh.
The only snag is the absolute lack of transport between Edinburgh and Glasgow. There’s no replacement buses between the two cities either and seemingly no way to get to Helensburgh today.
Should a website that is selling tickets for trains at least be linked to make sure the trains are running?
I ordered my tickets Friday but a quick look on the ‘Rail Easy’ site shows it’s still perfectly happy to send me for a journey that I won’t be able to complete - it’s still showing all the services as running.
Am I in the wrong for not checking this before I booked or should I realistically expect a chance of completing a journey?
Thanks in advance,
