This morning I got two lots of tickets out of the machine at Lichfield TV - one lot a return to Birmingham today, and the other lot to go to London in just over two weeks. Put them all in the ticket wallet, in what I thought was the right order, and didn't think anything of it...
Just after the train left Lichfield City, chap came round to check tickets - handed mine over and waved the DSB railcard, he circled the date, and I put it away. At New Street, I got the same ticket out to show, then put it away again. On the way back through New Street, I got out another ticket to show, then put it away again. No more checks.
When I got home, I realised that I had been a total twit and had been showing the tickets for London today, all dated the 9th January. Guess it shows how much they really look... Only slight problem is I now have an advance single for travel to London on the 9th January where the date has been circled! Do you think it would be a good idea to get in contact with London Midland and explain this before travelling?
