Who even comes up with these rules.

Seems very targeted, I'm thinking homeless people who want to sleep on the bus
This is for trains... My guess is that it's for 20-30 year olds that commute by rail
Well that's bullshit because I've been using rail card for taking a train that costs £9 without it.
Come at me Northern Rail, that is if you can get a train to run to where I am, you useless fucks!
Come on Andy, Roll on the Bee Rail Network!
'A spokesman for Northern said "We are inexcusably greedy and both organisationally and morally corrupt. Our constant quest to trick people so we can punish, prosecute and fine them, at the expense of putting any effort into having more than 50% of our dirty, overcrowded trains actually turning up, means we're not fit to run a train service and we need to be nationalised immediately". "Our CEOs and upper management deserve to be ritually executed by being tied to train tracks by a moustache-twirling villain", he added'.
I might have paraphrased a little bit, but essentially that's what I heard them say.
I had to claim a refund from Northern after a train was cancelled recently. They took weeks to get in touch, eventually asking me for my address. Another couple of weeks later a cheque arrived in the post. Like it's fucking 1950.
How much was it even for
About £20, not really worth the effort but that's how they get ya!
🤣
You can use this railcard on trains between two hours (we'll tell you which on the day) but only during periods where phases of the moon are alphabetically perpendicular to the number of days remaining in the month and when the temperature at sea level near a place you've never been to is equivalent to the sum of three primes.
This is from Northern. The last time I travelled on their trains a group of kids were racially abusing passengers and throwing coins at people as well as setting off fire extinguishers in the carriage. The ticket collector guard ran and hid with the driver and left it for us to deal with.
Train operating companies, who have powers to take out private prosecutions,
Very normal thing for train companies, nothing to see here
