Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to you in regard to an issue that I had at the train station
last
week. I bought the train
tickets
online one week before the date I was planning to
travel
, as I was going to
travel
from Montevideo station to Caunses station to attend my friend's wedding. Unfortunately, I could not
travel
due to
some problems with my
tickets
, I still could not understand as I followed the online steps and I am pretty sure I bought the right ones. The staff that were working that day were very unhelpful and did not mind helping me.
Moreover
, without giving me any explanation they told me I had to buy new
tickets
there to be able to
travel
.
Although
that was completely pointless as my
tickets
were valid, I had to buy them again as I really needed to take that train. I am very disappointed with
this
situation, I have been buying
tickets
online for ages and I have never had any problem until
this
day. I would very much appreciate it if you could provide some training for the staff, would be good if the people who are working there could be capable of providing some solutions and being more friendly as well. Thank you for your attention on
this
matter, I eagerly await your response. Kind regards, Jimena Ilaria
