My daughter is going to Bath tomorrow to look at it's University. As she is not sure of her return time. I checked and found a off peak return splitting at Cheltenham (from Birmingham).

As i was passing through Coleshill yesterday i thought i would purchase her tickets as to avoid her any problems on the morning. Coleshill station was unmanned (6.30pm) - ticket office and machine was locked with a message to buy tickets on the train.

This morning i stopped at Wylde Green (on my way to work) - Ticket office unmanned but the ticket machine doesn't sell tickets for tomorrow until 3pm !!!

If you can buy tickets on the web in advance - why not from a machine.
Frustrating.

I couldn't agree more - although far more preferable would be for the station to have a staffed booking office!
