Does anyone know if ATOC really charge a £5 fee for ticket on demand station ticket machine pick up and if so do all the online websites (except XC who charge £1) really absorb it?
If one collects ECRewards tickets there is a 'receipt' for £0.10p, even though the ticket is free.
Is that the charge for issue by the machine owner?
No. It's a nominal face value on the ticket for accounting purposes. (To track how many are given out and when etc) - Standard class complimentary tickets usually carry a value of £0.05, first class £0.10. These do occasionally appear in the mixing deck on some ticket selling sites!

Any idea why Virgin do it that way? I think it really clutters up the fares database! Why can they not do it like FCC for example, and have scratchcard-type complimentary tickets?
