On line train tickets - Red Spotted Hanky

Train fares supremo Barry Doe's knowledge of the complexities of train fares and ticket buying cannot readlity be condensed into a blogging site such as this, and is not always relevant for this context, but occasionally he has a little tip that's worth repeating.

In issue 677 of Rail magazazine he points out that redspottedhanky.com is the ony independent train ticket website that doesn't  charge booking or credit card fees. I am still normally using Eastcoast, as previousy recommended by Barry, but I take it it is nor what he calls independent.

Trying out RSH for a journey I'm making revealed that the interface is virtually identical to Eastcoast's - and the tickets proferred the same selection. Not a scientific test, but at least there's consistency.
