I started a thread now closed about Etickets in march. By way of update, I can say that eastcoast have written to apologise and withdrawn the penalty notice .They say their online communications were ambiguous, and so they have changed their communications. Even so, it's a salutary lesson...

My view is that it depends what the rule is. If the rule says the price is £10 if you are travelling between x and y then it's not reasonable to assume this would also apply if you are travelling between north of x and south of y which involves travelling between x and y. Any reasonable person...

Yes, and if he says EC don't do Etickets then that knocks on the head some people's suggestion of what Eticket means. If its a ticket which is delivered electronically which has to be printed in hard copy form then yes they do do Etickets so he's wrong. But if an Eticket is what I think it means...

Island can you tone it down a bit please I find your posts unduly aggressive and I don't want to involve the mods. As the late Michael winner would say calm down dear. Travelling between Berwick and York does not just mean starting your journey at Berwick and ending it at York. The example on...

I have agreed with the mod that we should shortly be winding this thread up as even I am starting to lose a little interest , although some and indeed most of the contributors have been very helpful, for which many thanks. Even I can't find PRINT@home ambiguous? Well what about printing to...

Thanks but as others have said I haven't changed my story in the slightest. I thought when boarding the train that an Eticket would be valid and I still think that now. I thought the inspector was wrong when he told me east coast trains don't do Etickets and I still think that now. I said from...

Fine, so whether I pay up or not , they could still prosecute as the so called criminal act has already been committed the minute I boarded the train? So why should I now pay up if there's no guarantee they won't prosecute anyway? There doesn't seem to be a clear link between payment of the...

Sorry but I find it ridiculous to suggest that there is a criminal offence involved and if according to some archaic bye law that were by some possibility to be the case then it is certainly long overdue for an overhaul of these bye laws. It's all very well to suggest moving on but unless...

Thanks but until we leave the EU, the unfair terms and regulations will override any claims that EC make that I owe them money. And I did have a valid ticket and showed it but the inspector refused to scan it.

Thanks but it's not clear. In capitals you refer to Eticket conditions and then in small print it says what the conditions are for printing. Fine of course if you print it out I can accept it needs to be clear so that it can be scanned. But why refer to it as an Eticket ( e usually understood...

Well I did have an iPhone as well as iPad but the inspector was having none of it. I think it may be between Berwick and York because of the strength of the signal. Once you get past Berwick the signal might not be great. But if you show the ticket between Berwick and York which I did, and...

Thanks but the issue is that having purchased a ticket, contract law will apply. Whatever bye laws say the contract law will override this. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- The inspector told me that east coast trains don't do Etickets. I am told that they do, even if it's...

Well yes I could have handed the ticket to someone else but so could I have printed 10 copies of the tickets and distributed them to all my friends. I showe them the credit card I bought it with with proof of who I am and the ticket has my name on it. The other thing if it's valid to show an...

It's a print at home ticket which says On it "conditions of Eticket" Well I travelled between Berwick and York (actually between doncaaster and Edinburgh so if I'd shown it between those intermediate stations would it be valid? There are 2 points here. First it's not fair to charge someone...

I recently travelled first class from Doncaster to edinburgh which I used to do regularly. Someone was sat in my seat and eventually I realised that the Eticket I had printed off was for the following weeks journey and not for the date I actually was travelling. the inspector walked straight...
