Dear Sally,
I bought a three-year digital senior railcard for my wife from the Trainline website, but have been unable to download the necessary app or the railcard because my iPad does not have a modern enough version of the operating software.
All efforts to get Trainline to provide either a refund or a paper version have been unsuccessful. It is totally intransigent. This means we have spent £70 for an inaccessible, and worthless, railcard.
Ocado faces backlash over excessive pay for bosses
Advisory firm Glass Lewis said there was too much focus on the “shareholder value creation” rather than underlying performance
Ocado faces a shareholder backlash over “excessive” pay including boss Tim Steiner’s near-£7m windfall.
Glass Lewis, the influential City advisory firm, has urged investors to reject pay proposals at the annual meeting in the next fortnight, citing “poor remuneration practices”. It said it has “severe reservations” about a controversial bonus scheme pegged to Ocado’s share price, which has rocketed by 676pc to £21 in the past five years.
The online grocer has become a stock market darling after striking a string of deals to sell its software and robots to supermarkets across the world.
