Unlike the alternatives such as the South West Trains website or the First Great Western site (RailEasy etc...), they add "Columbus Travel Insurance" by default, a £2.50 charge for using a credit card and £1 for posting your tickets first class - more if you want faster delivery.

theTrainLine.com wasn't always like this but I noticed the difference having had to book various tickets recently. I know Exponent Private Equity acquired them in July 2006 for £168 million. Sounds a bit pricey to me - maybe that's the reason for this behaviour? Don't let them get away with it!
