Is it me or is booking a train confusing?
The Editor
Now that I have moved house, I will be a regular user of trains to get me back to Leeds for the many events we hold for Yorkshire Businesswoman and TopicUK.
But, I have yet to get my head around the whole booking system! I wanted to reserve a train to get me from Cheshire to Leeds, simple, well you would think so!
I have to change trains in Manchester but I don't think Trainline / Transpennine could make it more complicated if they tried! I have studied the many e-tickets they have sent me via the app (why can they not just send one) and for the life of me, I cannot work out if I stay on the train when I arrive in Picadilly to continue my journey to Victoria across the city where I catch the train to Leeds, or if I have to get off and head over to Victoria on foot?
Why can train companies not just send one ticket from A to B with simple instructions. Is that too difficult for them.
I should have two tickets, one that gives my starting station and destination station and the other reversed! Instead I have several tickets that are VERY complicated.
Is there anyone out there who catches a train through Manchester that arrives at one station and leaves from another who can clear this up for me?
Come on Trainline and Transpennine, simplify the ticketing system for everyone!
