BBC I think the world must be going mad. :|

Just stumbled across this fairly detaild paper from December (updated 2nd Jan) entitled "Railways: passenger franchises " which I thought might be of interest. Introduction

A thought has crossed my mind. Given the above what if a passenger wishes to rebook for the next day (again using an advance ticket) and they visit their local ticket office at 13:00 which is advertised as open to say 16:30 but they find it's closed due to staff shortages (or some other reason)...
