Exactly my experience MT.
Ordered first thing Thursday morning
Email Friday confirming dispatch.
Not in post today.
Train tickets ordered at the same time came Friday
Railcard ordered Thursday night came Saturday
Just glad I didn't have to wait until today to order.
In the 60's we drew at Old Trafford and managed to sell about 20,000 tickets, at Millmoor, for the match on the following Tuesday.
Technology should make things better, not worse
