I know there have been a few threads about Elizabeth line ticketing, but I’ve not seen this issues discussed (apologies if it has been).
I travel into Paddington from Maidenhead and buy a day return to Paddington as normally I cycle to my office from Paddington.
The problem comes when I want to go home from Liverpool St / Farringdon / Tott Ct Rd. If I’m at any of those stations I can’t ‘tap in’ and get the train all the way to Maidenhead as the only place I could ‘tap out’ would be Maidenhead so would be charged the full single fare from Liverpool St to Maid re had even though I already have a ticket from Paddington to Maidenhead.
As far as I can see I would have to tap in at Liverpool St, get off the train at paddington, leave the platform, tap out and then go back to the Elizabeth line platform with my paper / barcode ticket or get a GWR train.
Is there any way around this?
Thanks for any advice.
