Split from this thread.
Don't quite I agree with the bit in red. I've had an Arriva guard rant when checking my advance tickets that I'll need to pay if I'm on the wrong train. Then not check my railcard.
I did nearly 1400 miles on a heart of England rover and had my railcard checked once over three days.
I did 1000 miles on a Freedom of the Southwest rover and had my railcard checked twice.
I went to London and back and got my railcard checked once and that was at the Euston barriers not on the train.
Need I go on?
I'm not criticizing the OP, but I'm very surprised that someone would buy a Railcard-discounted ticket without a Railcard. Ticket checks are very frequent and you are always asked for your Railcard.
Furthermore, to get away with buying a Railcard-discounted ticket without holding a valid Railcard, you would have to rely on not having your ticket checked. If that's the case, why on earth buy a ticket in the first place - Railcard-discounted or not!?
I just find it quite amusing that someone who doesn't want to pay the full fare, and is relying on there not being a ticket check, still fancies paying 2/3 of the fare. I've never come across it before!
