Do I have ground for complaint (Cross Country Trains)

McKneff

i have never paid extra for booking on line. Some train companies
charge a booking fee and card fee but you can avoid them altogether.
booking on line is far cheaper anyway. One way to Oxford £14. and back £18.00. Book at the station return was 4 times the price.

Exactly what I was thinking. At 15 you shouldn't be so negative.

HaHa a pompous 50 year old.. thats good.

I like how you judge this from a couple of comments I have made.

Do any of you have answers to my questions, rather than just criticizing what I have written.


Not very helpful, you turn to people for help and get criticized for everything I have wrote -- hmmmm.

At 15 I shouldnt be so negative? No I should just accept poor service when you pay for a ticket.

No I don't think so.

You wrote enough evidence!

See your above post! (no. 25).

I'll just expand on that. At 15 people have the sense to let things go. At 40/50 (the age varies) some become bitter and can't let anything go. Most of these people as they go over 60/70 gain sense again and don't spend life fighting over pettiness.

When you found your seat was facing the wrong way,couldn't you just have swopped with someone else,as you don't seem shy?
Dislike the word "distressed",it's over-used and smacks of whinging . or "stress-free",which sounds too formal.Try to write the letter with less formal language and more simplicity,otherwise IMHO,it's an instant turn-off. Find a different word.Don't know whether you have a valid complaint.

I guess theoretically I could have swapped.

But when people are settled and there were about 10 or so people arguing for their own seats, I didn't really feel I could suddenly ask to swap because I didnt like facing backwards when people were more concerned about actually getting their reserved seats... you see.

In general it was poor service, surely you agree with that.


Ohhhh anyway I have simply put in a complaint, I am not bothered about the outcome you see, I am more annoyed by the pettiness etc from some of the posters on here.

It's like complaining about the way you were born.

No I had a question, three people answered it. The rest just analyzed my argument you see.

I am not being petty at all - I have replied to your questions.
