Cut-price

It's not a good idea to buy tickets from a cut-price travel agent.

They are still taking any chance—the opening of the full Ashford line electric timetable is the latest instance—of stressing that two or three hours' traffic a day in trains crowded with passengers on cut-price season mileage rates does not generate enough revenue to support twenty-four hours a day the resources of men, rolling stock and track needed to cope in comfort with an ever-increasing peak passenger demand.

And the checkout chick is too busy taking money to tell you how to operate your cut-price, multi-purpose, plastic encased kitchen magician.
