    i've read enough "armchair expertise" as i said and threads like this are always full of know-it-alls versions of what they think happened and what they would have done... blah blah blah!! i never said i hadn't read the thread, i said i hadn't read all 25 (now 26) pages of it and the drivel it...

    Lost Railcard: Forced to buy replacement return ticket

    i was merely pointing out that you could cut this tread in half to make the points made, it reads like a stuck record for such a straight forward issue!!! he got off lightly, FGW could have charged him for the FULL price of a SOR without the YP discount but they didn't.... pay the fare, learn...

    Railway staff lying to the BTP

    Railway staff lying to the BTP

    that's all fine and well, breaks of journey ARE allowed but im pretty sure that you cant buy a ticket, say for example, from Sheffield to York, valid until the 30th April, decide to spend the night in Doncaster and then resume your journey the following day (1st may) when your ticket is now out...

    Railway staff lying to the BTP

    i am confused about this.... what type of ticket were you travelling on, what time of day did you continue your journey?! its not entirely shocking for a guard to say a ticket dated the previous day is invalid, only certain ticket types can have an overnight break of journey and there is a...
