Ah I see, they'll be skimming off the top and sending it back to Blighty then?

No but it was more of a political statement, why is it ok for another Nation to own another Countries National assets and yet not open themselves up for tender? Maybe they don't agree with their own system being sliced up?

How and why can the Germans, Dutch and French own our railways and us not theirs? There must be a good reason.

I can assure you I have quite a sound knowledge of the workings of the conditions of carriage, as said above are supplements in there? I spoke to Swindon TO this morning and they confirm what I have said but I'll go by that again, if you plan to use a supplement as a one day 1st class upgrade...

I haven't a clue to what that is ha ha, what practices?

Yes I get that but does that make it a valid fare? Or ticket?

Yes but that doesn't mean I can recall to a post today from last night, this debate arose from a possibility of multiple use of a supplement and I believe you can only use it for one journey and I still believe that, whether it is used as an all day upgrade 1st on a specific toc is another...

Yes but I'm not sure to what you refer, of course I am reading this, you posted that at 2345 last night!

I am taking your example, the fares are only updated in November into star and other I believe, where can you buy 12 months in advance at a different price on day returns? --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Aren't Virgin avoiding that issue by simply saying railcards are not valid...

No it's not, two tickets can be use to make one through journey but contractually they are separate. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Sorry could you quote that or ask me a direct question concerning it?

Condition 19 stipulates the allowance of two or more tickets on one journey, it does not contractually say they become one, --- old post above --- --- new post below --- When does it say that? So if you book in advance you can only get it on a specific train but if you buy it on the day you...

Yes but that not say those two tickets become contractually one does it? It emans you can use them on one through journey, we are digressing and going over old ground. I'll spell this out 1) Two or more tickets can be used for one journey providing they meet the conditions of use. 2) A...

A season ticket is very different to a day of issue ticket, price does determine validity, could I then by now for 10 years time? The machine may do it but that does not make it correct.

Yes and that part I stand by, where in the conditions of carriage does it say two become one, does it? I don't think so, season tickets, passes are completely different than train tickets combined.

Where does it say a combination of tickets of one through journey contractually become one ticket? All that says you can combine numerous tickets on a journey subject to certain conditions of use. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Where have I disagreed with that?

I suspect TO's, travel centre's and train managers issue them without worrying and quite right too (I believe I put this initially) concerning two tickets travelling through on the same service but I'm not so sure about another service altogether, why would they be?

Where?

That doesn't make them right though does it? Evidence? When you buy an excess from star you need a ticket number, when you buy a weekend upgrade from star you need a ticket number. FGW confirmed what to you? I'm not assuming anything, all this is common knowledge, how in hell could a FGW...

Again they'll probably (star) allow it but whether its actually valid is another thing, they will have the wrong price on.
