Thanks Dave I understand now and everyone else for your support. I'll be speaking to legal advice.

Thanks for yor replies and help citizens advice said it was a joke but that they can't really help. He didn't sign any sort of statement on the train she asked for his details on a blank piece of paper and he gave them. I'm not asking for any treatment because he's in the forces but I can't see...

He offered to pay the discounted fare. She said this wasn't available as he had a mobile ticket . He then said ok wel I'll pay for a full ticket which she said it's too late for that. He only found the terms on a later date. Apologies if I was incorrect before but the train line states that in...
