Hi all
I regularly travel from Elephant and Castle to Luton at between 5pm and 6pm on a weekday and usually get charged for an Anytime ticket costing £14.70.
However, the other night, the ticket clerk pointed out that since it's a single, I could buy an off-peak ticket as it's only return tickets which are restricted coming out of London, not singles. So he sold me a cheap single, which with my Network Card only cost a tenner
The thing is, some clerks still think that I should be paying the higher rate because it's 5pm and I'm travelling within the hour and don't understand what I'm saying when I tell them it's only the return portions which are restricted, so I sometimes have to pay the higher rate because they won't sell me a cheap one (I would buy my ticket from the machine, but the one at E&C doesn't sell tickets to Luton).
So who is correct and how much should I be paying??
