Not one member of staff at York would give a monkeys on seeing you hop off a TPE & onto a GC, They're too busy dispatching trains, helping passengers, ect ect.
No tickets are checked there because its an "Open Station" the Conductors onboard sell & check tickets!
Why you would claim this...
Now you are being rediculous, refusing to show your ticket at a barrier is fare evasion, York is an "open station" And has no barrier, ergo you can walk onto the platform and hop on any train you wish, GC don't stop at any station that NEX gate, so this scenario wouldn't even occur
Just read my post that you just quoted, how is it Sarky, And I wasn't defending National Express! just the people that work for them!
I don't resent passengers, only ignorant ones
Thanks me123 but after more than 30 years in this game I've got a thick skin
You were dreaming mate! This just wouldn't happen! There are no barriers at York only on Ascot days & a member of NEX staff wouldn't give a hoot whether you were traveling on a GC train or not, stop trying to make out there's a big conspiracy against GC, They're doing a fine job screwing their...
We deal with your sort every day of the week and no matter how right you think you are and how loud you shout, it all goes quite when the boys of the BTP turn up.
When NEX decide to barrier checks at a station that they run all passengers are required to show a valid ticket wether you like it...
It is fine to combine tickets providing you allow enough connectional allowance time. Presumably you did? In which case they can't refuse, I'd argue (But IANAL).

thats what the fella in the ticket office said but so what anybody would have saw i bought those two tickets intended for a through journey, my reason for buying two separate tickets was beacuase.......drum roll please.......it was cheaper than a through ticket
Thats why through tickets cost...
Read the post I replied to, The guy had 2 separate advance tickets 1 from chippenham to paddington and the other from kings cross to sunderland. It wasn't a through ticket & thats why it wasn't authorized!.
Our Guards hear these stories everyday from passengers traveling on cheap advance tickets but want to turn up and travel on any train. The fact that the fare was cheap is because its for a specific service doesn't seem to enter their heads.
When booking a journey in which you travel across...
How very dare you blame NXEC staff? You obviously have no idea of abuse we suffer at the hands of the public! GC screws up their travel plans with a S*** service & who gets it in the neck, the poor bloke in the booking office or on the information desk!
Treat anyone with politeness & respect &...
