A couple of weeks ago on a Saturday, I spent the night at a friend's house in Rose Hill. On Sunday, when I went to go home to Stalybridge from Marple (Rose Hill's closed on Sundays), the ticket office was closed, so I went to the TVM - a Parkeon issuing new-style tickets.
For whatever reason, the only Railcard discount the TVM offered me was Disabled Child - needless to say I didn't apply this as I was looking for 16-25.
Something is obviously wrong here - does it relate perhaps to the new ticket style?
I informed Northern over Twitter, and they seemed to take something of an interest: come Monday I explained the situation to them in a couple of tweets, later on they tweeted me again asking for some ticket details - to which I sent them a picture of my ticket: after expressing their thanks I have heard nothing further from them.
Anyway, two questions:
-is this a common or an isolated problem?
-if the difference in cost was considerable and I wished to claim a refund from Northern, how easy would it be to do so?
