Title: Error when buying online at GWR.com
Post by: Surrey 455 on November 19, 2018, 10:05:48
On three occasions I have recently booked tickets on my PC and after waiting, have received the following message on what should be the confirmation screen:

Quote
We've encountered problems during the payment of your tickets. Please try again, or contact us for further support.

On the first occasion I had already started re-inputting the details and was almost near the end when I heard an incoming email alert on my phone. This email showed my booking confirmation reference. On the next two occasions the same message was received and I waited for email confirmation, which I got.

This is a poor error message. I don't know what triggers it but I am sure that many people are unnecessarily paying twice.

Which browser are you using? I have often had issues with gwr.com on my default browser (Firefox) whereas Chrome seems to work fine.

doesn't matter, assuming the browser is up to date....should work on all major browsers!

Shouldn't matter but I can assure you that Firefox is current (63.0.3) but I still frequently get 'funnies' with GWR ticketing. Usually dialogue boxes that won't close and won't let me back to the main page. Chrome on the same machine - faultless. Hmm... ???

Exactly - GWR should be supporting ALL major browsers

I use Chrome.
