I've started commuting between Birmingham and Coventry. The travelcard is nNetwork pre 09:30 for concessionary pass holders for zone 1 to 5.
When I bought this travelcard, it came in a nNetwork blue with a bit of orange at the bottom stock. I used it on the buses and trains without any problems.
However, it ran out so I got it renewed at the ticket office but the man couldn't find it on the system because he doesn't know how to. So, I went to another rail station and the woman at there said my ticket was in fact issued on wrong stock, it should've been with a yellow at the bottom instead of orange.
Ever since I used this yellow stock I had a lot of problems with using it due to bus drivers and train inspectors doubting its validity when using it before 9:30 in the morning. Most of times I've let off.
The worst one was few days ago when the inspector who thought mine was invalid because she'd never seen it before and was going to take my details for a possible prosecution until I told her I had to get off the train now, so I was given a "last warning" and I shouldn't use it any more.
There's more than 15 days left on this ticket, what I can do about it? I can't really afford to do the usual "pay now then dispute with the prosecution later" I've been reading about on this section lately.
