That should crash ARJIS :-)
I tried to book through to Blackpool North today, Arjis couldn't find a
reservation. Euston to Man Piccadilly was available for £16.50 but not
the £18.50. Now, could I have booked her a seat any other way?
On a lighter note, I had a bird ^H^H^H^H lady come in the other day for
an AP and she leaned over the counter and kissed me when I got her an AP
ticket for less than a 10th of what she was quoted over the phone, even
though she had to start her journey at the crack of dawn...
Then there was 'happy' who thought 28 quid AP return to her destination
was outrageous. I was too scared to reveal the Saver fare in case she
hit me with her hand bag.
However, the burning question still is: Is there anyone who would be
able to offer advice to me on fares?
