Hello All - I am seeking some assistance. This morning I was travelling from Buxted to Sutton (London). My usual route is to travel from Buxted to East Croydon, either walk or use the Tram from East Croydon to West Croydon and then a train from West Croydon to Sutton.
I have been travelling this route for a while now and usually use a weekly pass, however today I just had an anytime return. Not for the first time, today my ticket was inspected whilst on the Tramlink stretch of the journey, I was asked to accompany the inspector off the tram and told that my ticket was not valid. He also pointed me to a sign on the platform, which indicated National Rail tickets are not acceptable. He took possession of the outward portion of my ticket and went on to ask me for email address so that a penalty fare could be issued. I refused and left the Tram stop.
Having now checked the National Rail Enquiries website for the suggested alternative route home, it has detailed the very same journey I took this morning but in reverse (via Tramlink) - I am now very confused about what I can and cannot do, can anyone help?
