Clearly the train operators are living in a parallel universe when an SWT press release can glibly say:
"Passenger Focus research, shows around seven in every 10 customers are satisfied with rail ticket purchasing facilities".
And they expect us to consider this a major achievement?
Out in the real world, for any business to have an activity which left 30% of customers dissatisfied would see a rapid change in the management responsible.
Especially since this is the operation which delivers cash flow.
Perhaps Petrol-head should invite Archie Norman or Sir Stuart Rose to run the retail side of franchises?
