    They are a victim of their own success, as soon as anything is posted, it is reposted here, HDUK and various other groups...I saw it originally on 10 ways before seeing on here..can't blame them for sharing!!:cool:

    They clearly do these promotions to attract customers. Yet everytime their website falls over or they have problems with the accounts. Seems that they haven't invested enough resource in the infrastructure.

    My own personal observations only, but I have often found cheaper tickets on train operators own websites - tickets that the train operators don't seem to be supplying to resellers. I see that RSH have changed the wording of their advertising to avoid saying they guarantee to be the cheapest ticket available now. Couple that with evouchers arriving and disappearing, some vouchers not appearing at all etc I am now only using RSH where I can collect the ticket from the local station the same day I buy them. I'm not risking buying in advance if I can't pick up until the day I travel.

    I'm still waiting for my Tesco ticket to show in my RSH account.

    How rude! You know nothing of this lady's circumstances. You post here very rarely but when you do, you are never very nice. If you can't be nice, then be quiet :(

    Well she clearly isnt in a position to be able to support one child herself let alone any more so regardless of her circumstances my advice is sound.

    It could be worth her getting a referral to Homestart once she has had the baby. They could help with budgeting, paperwork etc or just a friendly chat over a cuppa
