Bought advance tickets Darlington - Laindon from VTEC where the route is EC +connections and the itinerary is London Underground between Kings Cross and Fenchurch Street.
When I collected the tickets from the machine I was surprised to see no Maltese Cross printed for the cross London bit.
I've emailed VTEC Web support and they have confirmed that the tickets have printed correctly. As I have experienced in the past not all tickets properly open ticket barriers and LU gateline staff relied on the Maltese Cross to check validity.
So two questions if I may:
1. Has the Maltese Cross been dropped with the recent redesign? Do LU have staff trained on valid NR routes...?
2. If not how do I persuade VTEC that the tickets are incorrect?
