    I went with flexible ticketing in the end.

    It was a toss-up between that and OH's superconductivity but I decided to stick with what I can blag know about.

    I do have another week, my last contract was in London and I almost had the pick of seats when I went because my train started a stop above me.

    Maybe the station barrier gates could automatically punch gricer's ticket.

    Dear Cojak

    I have noted your request for some expert insight into matters concerning the British rail network but, owing to the seriousness of the topic in hand I feel I need to give your question some thought so that my response does not, in any way, seem glib or trite.

    I think a machine that would give a high voltage electric shock to a rail company executive everytime there was a delay would work wonders.
