Travelling back yesterday from Warminster.
Caught a direct train from Warminster to Waterloo and it was exceptionally busy so opted to sit in First Class and pay the £5 upgrade rather than stand.
Because I have a Network Railcard I had to split the tickets at Salisbury in order to get the discount I was surprised when the guard said that I would normally have to pay £5 for each section of the journey (£10) as two tickets were held but it said not to worry this time as he was changing in a few minutes at Salisbury anyway so the next guard would collect the £5 for the Weekend First upgrade.
Is this correct or should technically be only one upgrade charge?
I am interested to know as if its 2 lots of £5 if I ever did it again I would sit in Standard until Salisbury
