    Ebay again.

    Spotted some ticket blanks on ebay. I know the transfer/ sale of tickets is prohibited but what about current blank stock and if not should the sale of such stock be prohibited? Surely they could be used to make forgeries?

    Gobowen

    I stopped off at Gobowen the other day whilst on a West Midlands Day Ranger and noticed that the ticket office is run by a local travel agency (I think). I also now know that Gobowen is not unique in this, but was wondering what the reasons were for this type of arrangement?
