Hi all,
I've just had an excellent day today, travelling around on a "Cheshire Day Ranger".
This morning though, I boarded the 08:52 EMT service from Liverpool Lime Street to Norwich. (I travelled as far as Stockport on that service).
The guard, on checking my day ranger ticket told me that "it's not really valid until 09:30".
I said that I thought it was valid from 08:45 on weekdays, as it does say "Available from 0845 Mon-Fri" on the NR website and I had a printout of that webpage. She accepted this, so it was no problem for me. Although it does not precisely say "valid from 0845" on that page, rather it is worded as "available from 0845" which could possibly be ambiguous.
So, can anyone here confirm if the Cheshire Day Ranger is actually valid from 08:45 on weekdays, or is it 09:30? It's just that I might want to use one again, and I'd like to be 100% sure that the 08:45 start time is correct. If it is actually 09:30, then in the future I would start out after that time (or just get one on a Saturday).
Thanks very much for any replies!
