View submission: Merseyrail physical ticket scandalous
It’s ridiculous. Visited Liverpool at the weekend and used the trains on Friday and Saturday.
Friday - two young lads of about 14 in school uniforms trying to buy tickets. The guy in the ticket office said he’d reluctantly sell them child tickets but warned them they’d probably be fined at the other end as they had no physical ID (they had a passport scan on their phone). Wtf?!
Saturday - same situation at Central. Long queues, only 1 ticket machine in operation. And then a one way ticket cost the same as an all day pass. An uber would only have cost a few quid more and taken half the time
There's nothing here!
