Does anyone else suffer from Dell Computer advertising pop ups when using the National Rail website? Today it seems to be happening with almost every other click.

Yes, I have the same problem. I am on tabbed browsing, and have the departures board for Maidenhead up as I am getting the train soon. Even when I am on a different tab, that advert is appearing every few seconds.. Think there might be a problem with their site?

Is there anything more likely to make you NOT want to buy a Dell Computer?

I'd recommend downloading a decent popup blocker. Tucows is the best place to search for one. I'd also suggest some anti-spyware software might be useful as well - everyone has their favourites, but to my mind the best of the free ones (and not just because of the nostalgic rail related name!) is Spybot S&D▸ http://www.tucows.com/preview/310138I don't normally visit it as I'm a National Express East Coast aficionado myself, but I've looked at the National Rail site a couple of times this morning as a result of this posting and haven't been popped up at so far... fingers crossed.... |

I've got Pop up blocker which can be turned off, even with it off, I don't have any Pop Up's occuring on the Natinal Rail Web site, would suggest you go into your PC control and delete Cookies.

It's disappointing that something that is allegedly funded by ATOC» needs so many advertisements.

I agree, especially pop ups, which are a particularly irritating method of trying to peddle your wares.
