This morning I received a penalty fare notice for the following journey:
- Travelling from London Paddington (PAD) to Theale (THE)
- Annual Travelcard valid between Basingstoke (BSK) and London Zones 1-6 on Any Permitted route
- Ticket presented (validity 24-Oct-2019) along with the photocard
- Ticket inspectors waiting on the platform on arrival, where I was told my ticket is not valid for travel between Reading (RDG) & THE. I was passed on to a more experienced inspector who took my details and issued me with a Penalty Fare Notice for not having a ticket to travel between Reading RDG and THE. I believed my ticket to be valid for travel and asked her about that but she was not interested in discussing it.
- Afterwards one of the other inspectors ran after me to ask which station I had travelled from. The train I arrived on had only stopped in Reading en route so I don't understand why he was double checking this information.
