I had a slightly unusual journey yesterday, which ended up being a bit problematic. I had a Cambridge-London Z1-6 off-peak day travelcard valid only on GA. I took the GA train to Tottenham Hale, transferred to the tube, and then to a Thameslink train at Finsbury Park (it's easier to transfer there than to exit the Victoria line platforms at KGX, and the times were right). When I arrived at King's Cross, the gates didn't open, and when I approached the gate staff, I was told that my ticket was GA only and I have clearly just arrived with a non-GA train (which happened to originate in Cambridge). I told him the exact route I took, and he still didn't believe me and aggressively told me to go and buy a valid ticket. After I refused, he directed me to a person who was supposedly his manager nearby, who also didn't really believe my story. Instead, he told me to approach the gates near platform 9, which, according to him, are managed by GA (I didn't wan't to argue that GA doesn't even operate to King's Cross!). I walked there, and I was finally let out, after explaining my route once again. Because of this, I almost lost my train departing from St Pancras 18 minutes after I arrived at KGX.
The question is, what if nobody actually believed my story?
