Trains, Strains and automatic GIGO

I recently got invited on a one day workshop which I’ve decided I’m going to attend.

The workshop is to take place somewhere in East Sussex and I’ve decided that I’m going to let the train take the strain however, its taken me several hours to book the tickets online.

The main railway networks website is an absolute nightmare to sort out a reasonable route. It expected me to get off the train at St Pancras and catch the tube which leaves at exactly the same time as my train pulls in, well, from what i know of the Kings Cross St Pancras terminal, that aint gonna happen, even if i sprint from one to the other.

what it couldn’t understand is  i need to take another train from London Bridge and wanted me to catch a tube there instead of staying sat on the same train which takes me there anyway.

Its does raise the question on just who tests the software, after all, all those years ago when i took I.T. on the old BBC B’s we were taught that poorly coded software  could suffer from GIGO, Garbage In, Garbage Out
