      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        What you using them for anyway? They offer the same tickets at National Rail Enquiries - Official source for UK train times and timetables for the same price, but don't charge you to send them out!

          Indeed, I had to buy some tickets recently. I checked thetrainline.com then decided to check the price on the east coast line website. Got the same tickets for £15 less and free postage

            They charge a booking fee on top of what the suppliers charge. I get my tickets directly from TPExpress.co.uk if i can be bothered to buy them online.

              Aha! The old postage and packaging ploy!

                I typically use thetrainline to pick tickets at the station (posting is so last year), they charge £1 booking fee with debit card, price of tickets bought directly on train I use seem the same.
