They can’t book 75 people for a train which can only seat 50

The official statistics lists how frequently that occurs.

+1. “oh you’ll surely be good if you are early, the train can’t possibly already be overcrowded when it arrives”

I suspect the sales website can’t actually reserve seats itself, but just passes along the request to some other system, which enters “LOL, NO!” in that field for a train that was long-since fully booked.

My guess is that it printed this “null” reservation slip to let you know that the reservation had failed, because otherwise people would think that the printer wasn’t working? It prints the ticket(s), then the reservation(s), then the receipt listing how many things were printed.

They only issue as many tickets as seats

TFW “npm install somePackage” adds hundreds of names to your supplier list, some of whom aren’t even adults let alone companies, and the policy says that each new supplier needs to go through a thorough vetting process.

Oh, like how saving an image as JPEG is just recording some frequency stats, which just happen to sufficient to recreate the image?
