Can't explain the masses of them, but it has had these pop ups for a while, sometimes they even get through a pop up blocker which is rather annoying.

Thanks Ollie,

I have emailed National rail website the following...

"Hello, Every time I click on something on your web site today, I get a pop up advertising dell computers.. I didn't want to buy one first time round, and certainly not after the 50th time either.. This doesn't usually happen on your web site.. Is it a problem with it? I hope it's not an enhancement? Thank you Jo"

Will let you know the reply...

I've done something similar, (albeit not quite so witty) but I'm not holding my breath for a response.

Well I've never been described as witty before.. Thank you!  Grin And yes, I'm also not holding out for a response any time soon!

I have a mac with safari and I haven't had the pop up.

Probably because Safari has its own pop up blocker included.

Download it for PC and Mac @ Apple.com

I got a very speedy reply...

"Thank you for your eMail regarding advertising on the National Rail Enquiries website.

Our site is currently experiencing technical difficulties which is causing the pop-under advertisements to continually appear on top of our page. Our Technical Team are currently working to rectify this and normal Service will be resumed as soon as possible.

Once again please accept my apologies for any inconvenience caused and I trust that this matter will shortly be resolved."

I must say I am impressed with the quick response.

Glad the situation is being looked into.

I got the same message. I presume by "normal service" they mean the normal irritating pop-ups (unders?), but without every click resulting in one.

It seemed to have calmed down by yesterday afternoon,  so I presume they had already sorted it.

Hmm, I just managed to get a total of 29 "pop-ups" whilst I was on National Rail web site, so not totally sorted. However they do seem to pop up and then immediately sit in the back ground now rather than actually popping up and staying there! Which is an improvement. Smiley
