This has got me thinking. I purchased a 16-18 Saveaway a couple of years ago while I was 17 (I think). Had ID ready as per the requirement by Merseytravel (provisional licence) got asked for £2.70, paid and went on my way.
At some point while travelling I realised they'd actually sold me a child ticket, which is the same fare. I was about to get off at Liverpool Central , so spoke to staff there who told me not to worry about it as it was the same price, I'd paid the correct fare essentially and I could prove I was entitled to the reduced fare. That struck me as being the right way to deal with it and I had no issues. This is essentially the same, surely?
