Noticed two posters offering two subtly different versions of pre-travel ticketing obligations at Chester today:
The first poster basically said that you must have a valid ticket before travel (unless no facilities etc etc), which may be obtained from ticket office, TVM or website [my emphasis]. That raises an interesting question - if I have internet access, but board a train at (say) Roman Bridge, should I have obtained a ticket online before travelling?
The second poster had a similar warning, but listed a different third option: ticket office, TVM or our Revenue Protection staff. Now, doesn't that imply that getting a ticket from an RPI on-train is a recognised option?
All seems a bit of a mess to me!
