You want a train ticket. You know where you want to go, when you want to go there & how many are travelling. You have even written it all down & hand them the info.
No problem I hear you say. Wrong!!! Well it's wrong if you attempt to buy it from the ticket office at Inverness Railway Station.
Heaven forbid that you should complicate your order by asking for facing seats (due to motion sickness) & want the two seats together.
The female staff are rude, arrogant, condescending & the most unhelpful staff I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with. I only wish I could select a minus star.
So maybe they were having a bad day? Wrong again!!! This is not a one off. This is a journey made at least six times a year. Unfortunately you can't book directional seats together on line or we wouldn't darken their door again.
It's not as though it can't be done without all the drama & sneering. There is a male staff member (who even knows how to smile) who will book the journey without any fuss.
So my advice is, if you can get your tickets any other way, do so & keep away from this nasty little office where customer service & Highland hospitality is an alien concept.
