Our new ticketing site is now live! Using either this or the original site (both powered by TrainSplit) helps support the running of the forum with every ticket purchase! Find out more and ask any questions/give us feedback in this thread!
A nearby station has a ticket machine on 1 platform only (3 minute walk from the 2nd platform). It is also frequently out of service.
I don't think it is reasonable to expect an elderly person to always purchase a ticket before travel when the ticket buying facilities are so poor.
We are aware of an issue with emails from the Forum to Microsoft-based email accounts (hotmail/outlook/live.com email addresses). This is being looked into currently, thanks for your patience meanwhile.
