Having received SailRail tickets ordered from Virgin Trains, I've noticed a few peculiar things about the tickets that dont really matter but I'd still like to know more about:
1. Tickets for Stena Line Dublin/Holyhead are issued to/from "DUBLINPORT STENA". While my seat reservation coupons say "DUBLINPORT STENA", my tickets however say "DUBLIN PORT STEN" (note the extra space and missing A). How would this have happened? Are such variations in station names common? Is it likely to cause me difficulties on the railway where a guard may assume my ticket is invalid?
2. Neither my tickets nor my seat reservation coupons say "CIV" on them anywhere, despite being for an international journey. Is CIV protection only applicable to journeys which include rail portions in both countries? Does CIV protection still apply to my tickets despite not being marked such? Is it a mistake that my tickets don't say this, or is it normal?
3. My tickets were booked for Liverpool Lime Street, but are marked "LIVERPOOL STNS" and have no reference to Lime Street anywhere. Are they still valid to other stations in the Liverpool Stations group (such as Central, one stop after Lime Street) despite being Advance tickets booked for Lime Street, or would they refuse to open the barriers and result in a fine/penalty fare etc when checked?
