Cross-company co-operation.

« on: February 13, 2010, 00:30:12 »

I know we often hark on about how companies don't get along and the like, so I thought I'd open a thread where we could talk about how companies help each other, either in times of crisis or one offs.

As this is other ways to travel I'll start with the following:

At Bournemouth XC^▸ trains have a tight 25 min turnaround, from incoming platform to sidings to outgoing platform. If my reservations haven't downloaded or there is a problem with the onboard GSM preventing an uplink then BMH will print off my reservations onto labels for me with minutes to spare, even though SWT^▸ do not operate seat reservations any more. Plus the labels (not sure whether this is because EMT^» use common stock) are not branded, and simply have a big blue box with a white 'R' in it for reserved.
