You'd also then get exactly the same people moaning along the lines of......
"I went online and saw 2 tickets priced at a bargain £4 each. But the stupid railway insists they want me to enter our railcard ref numbers. Well my wife had gone out shopping, her railcard is in her purse permanently to ensure its never forgotten on a journey, by the time she got back the price had doubled.
What's wrong with letting us put the discount on the ticket, and then letting revenue staff on the day check we have our railcards.
The railways incompetence and laziness to inspect railcards on the train has just cost me money"
Whatever the railway does, it'll always be wrong!
