  1. Whilst it is good that an Operator is promoting Advanced Purchase tickets and rovers and ranger for the Anglia region, it gives an impression that the are being incredibly good and “virtuous” in pointing out what was available anyway.Why do they ( and indeed all the “railway”) do more to promote these existing tickets?
