in my humble opinion....All passengers really want is a train that will arrive on time, Have space to sit down and relax and a reasonable priced ticket. All these Advance..Time...Operator..etc. just causes confusion (I see it every day) and then myself and my colleagues are "bad guys" for having...

We get given a float and its very rare to actually run out of change nowadays (happened pre covid but the shift to mobile tickets has reduced cash sales to a very small percentage) and regarding the type of machines...StarMobile switches the screen off after a few minutes and then we have to log...

You come across as very little person who is bitter against anyone who actually uses the right to industrial action instead of towing the Tory Propaganda Bulls*it and the Daily Heil zombies who will be happy when workers rights will be diminished to a point like they have in the United States...

Many many bitter people here I try not to let it get to me but the vitriol and pure hatred spewed from some members is horrible and those same people love to go on about strikers being bullies etc.
