Bit of background, my wife suffered a sudden brain infection which resulted in Sectioning and lots of rehab. She is pretty much back to normal, but the meds she is now taking result in a dampening effect on her brain to prevent it running amok. Obviously she can no longer drive and relies on public transport to get around. Currently, if she needs a train ticket she toddles down to our station (Horsham) and the very helpful ticket staff sort her out with what she requires. We are concerned to note in another thread the potential withdrawal of ticket offices. Her ability to understand the internet is limited and the automatic machines get her flustered, particularly if there is a queue. Whilst I can sort her out with a ticket on-line, she is fiercely independent and we would like to know if there are alternate avenues of ticket purchase for her should the closures come to pass. Her independence is important to her and I may not always be available to assist. We wondered if there was a telephone ticket service where she could talk to an advisor and purchase what she requires to be sent by e-mail for instance, but what we can find seems geared to assistance of the physically challenged rather than mentally? We would welcome any advice as to what services are available to people who are physically fit but struggle with the complexities of on-line ticket purchasing. Many thanks, Ken
