But what if passenger books a ticket via Haymarket with a valid itinerary?
Which both London Midland and National Rail will offer with the £8.50 Anytime Day Single to Livingston North from Glasgow Queen Street via Haymarket?
Then that could go in a new thread, which could be titled "
Passenger Rights When Travelling On Valid Ticket?" , though I don't think it is necessary, as the rights are set out in the NRCoC, and is pretty obvious.
I'm not so sure I would be as quick to dismiss as other members.
This passenger has _a_ ticket. Presumably the passenger will excess this (perhaps with this being late at night and ticket offices being closed, the first opportunity will be on board this train) so I suppose your question is what happens if the train breaks down before the guard gets to them?
I got the impression from the opening post that the passenger was being shown discretion in being allowed to use the ticket via an invalid route, and the question was relating to what rights the passenger had with the tickets held.
Of course, if the passenger bought additional tickets, then the question no longer applies as the tickets would then be valid.
However I would doubt that there is an excess applicable for this, what sort of excess would it be? Over-distance to Haymarket maybe, but you'd then need an additional ticket from there. And, as I said earlier, the question no longer applies then.
Oh, and if the first opportunity to buy a ticket is after a breakdown, then so be it. I don't see how that changes anything.
