Between Christmas and New Year I travelled from Euxton Balshaw Lane to Preston with my partner. We tried using the ticket machine on the platform but it would not recognise the fact we wanted a Duo ticket so would actually have to pay the full price. We attempted to obtain a promise to pay but the machine seemed to throw a hissy fit and kept asking for a payment card, putting the debit card in brought us back to the purchase tickets screen. In the end we gave up and just went to Preston.
We bought tickets at the ticket office but were told we should have obtained them from the ticket machine at EBA.
If we had been stopped by revenue inspectors on the journey what would have been the likely outcome?
