TfW is one of those companies whose ticket machine wont flog railcard
discounted tickets until the second they become valid.

Coincidently at Cogan railway station there is a service towards Cardiff
which is timetabled to depart at this same second. I'm looking forward
to claiming compensation when I'm unable to catch this service due to
being unable to purchase a ticket with sufficient time. It'll be
interesting so see TfW's reaction.

If I choose a suitable connecting journey I'll be an hour late.

I wonder how many are programmed with the various easements, which are
designed to assist passengers with off-peak fares when there's a train
that departs 5 minutes before, or 55mins after, the umbrella restriction
time.

I remain to be convinced they'd NOT programmed to ensure you purchase
the cheapest fare for your journey.
