I was travelling on an LNER service this evening from York to London and my ticket, an advance single booked via the LNER website and collected from a Northern ticket machine states:
“On specified LNER trains & connections”
Then next to time time of my train it says “Virgin Trains EC”
The train manager said that as it is a Virgin Trains ticket it isn’t valid on LNER, but after looking at it for around 30 seconds said “I’ll let you off just this once”
I’ve just checked some tickets for future journeys purchased from the LNER website and collected from the same ticket machine and they also mention on specified LNER trains and connections and then Virgin Trains EC next to the time of my train.
Would it be wise for me to take them to a ticket office to have them endorsed for travel on LNER services or changed?
