I was travelling on a train earlier this week when two ticket incidents happened in a short space of time.
1. a couple didn't have their advance tickets, but had a letter/printout which was read by the guard and he let them travel.
2. a group of 4 were travelling on the wrong train for their advance tickets and had to pay again. It was over £100.
Both sets of people were in the same carriage and i was over the aisle from the couple and a couple of rows behind the group of 4. The couple remarked to me how lucky they were.
I'm not going to say what train, or route because I don't want someone to get into trouble.
Why discretion with the couple and not the group?
regards
