Hi,
I wanted an apology and the gesture, to say, 'Yes, we (Northern Railway) were in the wrong, and as a sign of good faith (and we want to keep your custom for the future) we would like to give you a refund of £7.20 for that one days' travel - we got it wrong!'.
The stress and anxiety I went through, was the 25 mins of being told by two guys, at Lime Street Station, that I was in the wrong, no matter how simply I argued the point to them, they 'told me and my partner' we were wrong? Oh, and by the way, has anyone been to Lime Street Station recently, where 6 guys wait by the ticket office on the platform for anyone who has not paid - I'm really not kidding on this point - can anyone confirm or back me up on this? Six guys in luminous jackets, even other members of staff don't like them (I was later told).
I am not so anxious or stressed about it, that I need a counsellor or psychotherapist!... yet!!
This is a joke for some of the guys on here who tried to cast aspersions on my character - who don't know me - do some people call this trolling nowadays? I don't know?
And no, I have not accepted any payment for the story. If anyone is interested in picking it up, it would be nice if any money go to a charity. Maybe a charity for rail passengers!!
You get all sorts of people on here don't you? Some pick up the spelling and punctuation - really? and others just want to pull people down.
I don't know how much of this will get through the admins, but it would be nice if they could let it go through, so that some people can try in be more constructive and nice to each other instead of sometimes being the opposite to each other, on this forum.
Anyway, maybe this story can begin to be closed down now. Thanks everyone. Especially the guys who were constructive in their suggestions. Cheers.
