I've got reservations for the 15th, 10:45 northwards and 14:55 southwards. I have a £15 "settle carlisle line day ranger.
I was originally just planning to use the ranger just for Skipton-Appleby-Skipton. But following up the link from a previous post I found from the T&CS (at settle-carlisle.co.uk) show that the ranger is valid all the way from Leeds with no time restictions.
So I now plan to use the ranger to leave Leeds very early (before 8:45) and have a look at the almost unique triangular station at Shipley on the way, and still get to Skipton in time to see Tornado arrive from the north.
But I'm starting to get jittery . I did a belt-and-braces check on the ranger on the NRE site - I wanted a printout from there (the only official source of information, according to ATOC) to show to any staff who might not be familiarr with the ticket. But surprisingly the ranger is not on the NRE website. I rang the helpline and they hadn't heard of it either. So all I've got is a printout from the S&C website.
Can anyone help with
- Will a Leeds RPI accept a ticket they've probably never heard of being used in the Leeds rush hour, with a printout from "some random site". Or will I shortly be appearing on Disputes and Prosecutions with the Hangemflogems telling me I shouldn't have tried to use a ticket without reading a hundred pages of official T&Cs, and a criminal record for fraud is too good for me.
- Having just written that . I'm more than just jittery! Without an NRE page, how can I check the official T&Cs? Or is the ticket is in effect unuseable for someone who does not wish to risk prosecution? And has the ranger been on NRE before and mysteriously vanished, or never been on there?
