Enhanced Ticketability

Well, here's a thing: the Conservatives pledged three years ago to make changes to rail season tickets and lower the costs for part-time workers, but nothing much has been done. Since the promise in question had to do with the financial convenience of the non-chauffeured, few will be surprised that it's beginning to smell a bit Cleggy: the rail companies are dragging their feet, and we might be on track for another constitutional crisis if the Department for Transport should presume to interfere in matters of transport. "We are fully committed to improving the ticketing experience so passengers can benefit from smoother and more seamless journeys," bargled a spokesbot; translated from the machine code, this means that ministers have considerately extended the deadline for doing something or other until after 2017, when presumably it will be clearer whether the Great Daveymander has left enough commuters enfranchised to make the improvement of their ticketing experience worth the bother.
