Some TOCs will even post it to you for free - especially if your local station does not have a TOD facility.
so again are you happy to pay a booking fee - which is totally unnecessary and a postal fee when others do not charge you?

must admit, i use the apple trainline app, but then always buy from eastcoast.co.uk
as its free pickup or first class, no fees0 -
You can't get a £150 ticket for £10 - you can get a £10 ticket for £10 - plus booking/card/delivery fee if applicable
If it IS a £150 ticket you'll pay £150 for it - again plus relevant fees

It's booking in advance that got you the cheap fare - not booking through thetrainline

Could you please explain:
1- How am I being rude
2- How I am wrong
Thanks.
EDIT: Just to add so this issue is very clear to all parties
£150 ticket - Top tier ticket - offers the most flexibility and times of travel.
£10 ticket - Lowest tier ticket - offers no flexibility without further costs.Restricted to time and train it is sold for.
So you can clearly see that you do not get any of the benefits of the £150 ticket when you purchase a £10 ticket. Therefore you are not buying a £150 ticket for £10."If you no longer go for a gap, you are no longer a racing driver" - Ayrton Senna0
