Good afternoon, opinions please.
All day single - Sowerby Bridge 06.06 to Manc Pic 07.15 (Northern Rail)
Advanced - Manc Pic 07.27 to Birmingham NS 09.15 (Xcountry)
Northern Rail train delayed, arrived Manc Pic 07.36, so I boarded the next avaliable train my Xcountry on the same route at 08.05.
Ticket inspector told me to buy a new ticket, however I refused as I believe my ticket was valid under NRCOT section 9.4
'Where you are using a Ticket valid on a specific train service or train services (such as an ‘advance’ Ticket) and you miss a service because a previous connecting train service was delayed, you will be able to travel on the next train service provided by the Train Company with whom you were booked without penalty.'
I've recieved a court summons for travelling without a ticket. Am I in the right or wrong?
