Saw an interesting post on Twitter this morning: [Link to original tweet]
It appears that people going to Aintree are being directed to a separate ticket queue where they are sold a "special" £5 day ticket (the normal fare from Liverpool is £3.75 single, £4.05 return).
Doesn't seem like much in the grand scheme of things but take that extra 95p, multiply it by the numbers of people over the 3 days, and it would be a nice little earner for Merseyrail. However, I would have thought they are on quite dodgy ground with regard to the obligation to sell the cheapest and most appropriate ticket?
@Merseytravel what a disgrace moorfields station separate office £5 return Aintree in normal office £4 appalling scam!!!!!
