My journey is a weekly day return from Bamford (at 10.40am)to Hazel Grove.
The normal route given in journey planners is to change stations at New Mills.
I use a Derbyshire Wayfarer ticket to travel from Bamford to New Mills Central.
I continue from New Mills Newtown to Hazel Grove.
I return at various times.
I am asked at Newtown (or by the conductor) if I want a Peak or Offpeak return to Hazel Grove.
I have show my Derbyshire Wayfarer ticket to indicate that I am travelling in and out of the PTE area so a Off peak ticket would be OK.
I am always sold the Off Peak tickets have been regularly checked on the return journey and everything has been OK.
Until recently- on the same day a Revenue Man and Conductor at Hazel Grove told me I needed a Peak ticket to return from Hazel Grove to Newtown and that it didn't matter that my journey would be completed outside the TfM area.
Have things changed, or have I just been lucky?
