GNNNNNAAAWERFGVFDXFGHFFFFFFFFS
is the sound of me trying to book a train ticket.
Riddle me this, friends. If I go and book a ticket Newcastle to Chester, a nice normal thing to do, and more than two months in advance at that, the lowest price is £104.80.
If I split it into two tickets, the lowest price is £23.80.
Would anyone like to explain in what possible universe this is in any way okay or sensible? And who do I need to take hostage in order to fix it?
(I'm not asking for advice, by the way. I am a grandmaster of train ticket booking. Even Trainline can only get the price down to £33, I can do ten quid better because I have EXTREME SKILLS learnt through many years of BRUTAL TRAINING in the minefields of UK train bookings. Posting this is just an alternative to putting my face through the window in exasperation.)
