The title says it all really, says on Direct.gov.uk that a birth cert works, but if someone goes to the desk at Newcastle with one, will they be sold a RC or given a load of excuses?
I provided my birth certificate only at Potters Bar and the guy said 'oh you don't need that I can see you're not lying' - then again Potters Bar seem to be the friendliest ticket office at least by FCC standards
Don't they write your DOB on the rail card anymore? Someone who is obviously under 18 may not need to prove their age but don't they need their DOB recorded to prevent them in the future renewing when they are 26?
