If a PTT hasn't been exchanged for a ticket the railway still wins, as the customer is still out of pocket.....

The numbers on the PTT only relate to how many have been sold from that particular machine and as far as I'm aware they're not used for accounting purposes. Money taken in the Pertis machine should tally with PTT 's collected, and if there's more in the Pertis, then it's all profit....

Sponson also has an infrequent service, morning and evening trains only, but its still a PF station. I suppose most people old have the sense to check the timetable first at such stations before making a wasted journey to catch a train that doesn't exist.

Well he refused to pay again, and its not enough time to mess around with an UPFN, so 'off' is the only course of action! And off he went!

He claimed he bought the PTT on his way to work the previous morning, which was supported by the time printed on it, he refused to pay so I chucked him off at Beeston, the stop previous to Attenborough. I have it on good authority that its a pleasant walk ;-)

If they boarded the train before the two hours then the PTT is still valid. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Before the two hours is up I meant...

I'm reasonably certain it also explains that on the actual Pertis machine as well.

Get to see what?

It says quite clearly on every PTT issued 'valid for two hours from time shown'

Yes it is unfair. It's an unfair world PTT is only valid for two hours, if its not exchanged in part payment for a ticket within the two hours then it becomes worthless. If the guard can't sell the PTT holder a ticket then that person would be expected to buy themselves a ticket using the PTT at...

Hi, I'm a Senior Conductor with EMT, PTT machines are installed at Syston, Sileby, Barrow Upon Soar, Attenborough, Spondon and Duffield. A permit to travel is is valid for two hours from the time of issue, after which it becomes worthless if not used in part payment for a ticket within the two...
