But you try and tell the young people today that, and they won't believe you.

Anyway......
Bought a ticket from Plymouth on GWR (Great Western Railway) website yesterday afternoon and free 1st class postage was offered (and used).
A bit slow to update their website?  Surely not. 😉

I booked tickets on Friday afternoon for travel mid December which arrived yesterday only to find out yesterday on RTT» (Real Time Trains - website) the times have changed albeit minor changes by a few minutes The tickets I bought were Advance tickets so departure time on the tickets now doesn't match the new departure time. I'm not expecting any hassle from the train manager as I suspect they are used to things not being right these days. I do wish Network Rail would sort themselves out when it comes to issuing timetables for weekends.

Why only weekends?  Grin
