I’ve been doing a lot of interviews over the last couple of weeks about web 2.0. One example of where the web is utterly rubbish is buying train tickets in the UK. Train tickets in the UK are utterly screwed in many ways. Basically, you have to try half a dozen different ways of communicating with the train companies to get a decent price. You will always get a better price by using your own imagination to create an alternative route. It could really do with someone creating a mashup that will actually show you your options in a realistic way.
So, lovely to see farecast, even in a limited beta. Please, UK hackers — find a way to make it easier to buy train tickets! (5% would suit me fine, guys).
