Hi,
If you have a ticket to go south and you accidentally board a train going north, what should happen please?
1. PFN/Prosecution for no valid ticket
2. Returned to origin upon payment of fare excess and production of original ticket
3. Returned to origin upon production of original ticket with no fare excess
During recent disruption, I inadvertently boarded a train going North rather than the one going south run by the same operator in close proximity on adjacent platforms. Fortunately I realised my error and disembarked before the train left, but wondering what would've/should've happened if I had only realised once we had left.
Thank you
(Edit, not requested by moderator but done in anticipation - PFN is Penalty Fare Notice).
