Hi all,
Never really wanted to have to post in here but oh well!!
I boarded the 0632 Appleby (APP) - 0809 Keighley (KEI) this morning without a ticket due to the unstaffed nature of APP at that time of morning and the guard proceeded towards me (only pax to board at APP) to sell me a ticket which I intended to pay by card (VISA Debit) for as I have done before however it was declined and therefore (correctly I know. No cash on me!) I was issued a UPFN for £23.40 (Full fare return) if my card had gone through I should have been charged £15.45 (I have a Y-P Railcard). All exchanges were polite between me and the guard.
My question is would I be able to appeal that because it isn't my fault my payment was not accepted (I had enough to pay 20 times over before anyone asks!!) that I should only be liable for £15.45 not £23.40?
Look forward to replies!
