I agree that would be impractical, but it emphasises the importance of why a staffed telephone number should be available. Recognising that not everyone has Internet access or would know how to find that information (if they're not told about it)
Totally agree.
IIRC, GNE customer services used to be open 7-7 during the week and 9-5 on the weekends, but now it's just 9-5 Monday-Friday, with what looks like no intention to bring back the longer opening hours.
To me, CS being open 9-5 is ridiculous, it's only open in between the peak times, when people are less likely to need to use it!
