Mixing Deck Layout Changes

[whole diary]

Which reminds me http://fantasyfooty.games-redspottedhanky.com/default.aspx might be of some interest as there is effectively up to ^15 of train travel available.

There is a way round that for RSH. If you look under your cookies for tickets.redspottedhanky.com you might find

ExperienceCookie: DisplayMode

That needs changing to Default from Alternate.

Removing that cookie and then going to this link should also work:

My Fantasy Footy team is already compiled, although I know diddly about the Prima donna League these days. I've made Gerrard my captain. Until seeing the player options I didn't even know he was still playing.

I managed to earn ^8 worth of points for RSH Fantasy Wimbledon, and my RSH Fantasy Grand Prix entry is still going. F1 is a sport I do know something about, but I'm not doing particularly well. Currently ranked 2193rd out of 6094. At least I'm in the top half of the table.

But ultimately it's all a bit of fun and the RSH loyalty points up for grabs make it worthwhile. So do enter the latest iteration at the link posted by fourbee.

  What on earth has possessed FGW^▸ (First Great Western) to use the new layout for choosing tickets online !!
It is AWFUL - is a trainline revamp ? East Coast from now on (except for Sleeper booking  ).

[Fourbee]

I still have the FGW^▸ (First Great Western) website in mixing deck mode, so could be being rolled out on one browser first (I use Firefox, maybe you use Internet Explorer?).

Sounds like you might have the "ExperienceCookie" which has affected other sites and puts it in "Fares View" mode.

If this is the case, there is some advice on how to restore it here (change redspottedhanky to firstgreatwestern where mentioned):

And just on your other point, FGW^▸ (First Great Western) no longer use the trainline back end, it is ATOS/WebTIS.

  Thanks for the help.

For continuity, I've merged the two threads about the new Mixing Deck layout into this one thread.

http://tickets.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/gw/en/JourneyPlanning/MixingDeck now redirects to
http://tickets.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/gw/en/journeyplanning/FaresView for me with (Firefox 21).

I do appear to have the "ExperienceCookie", but what caused that cookie to be set (is there something I can avoid clicking to avoid that happening again) and how come it happened to occour just as 'Sleepy' encounted the new layout?

Tried deleting the cookie, but it doesn't seem to have worked. I am still redirected from the MixingDeck URL to the FaresView one. Any ideas?

[Fourbee]

Not sure on that one. Mine is still OK, but I am using an old version of Firefox (14) and do not get redirected.

East Coast and Southern are still using the old style AFAIK^▸ (as far as I know). Plus Southern used to (still do maybe?) their rainy day guarantee for a refund without admin fee for some uncollected tickets.
