Isn't the whole point of route knowledge that you don't check your diagram or take a drink when approaching such a tricky signal?

There *is* a published cut-off. How much earlier than that do you suggest I should arrive to allow for staff who can't read a clock or a timetable correctly?

Stupidity?

I've had a tube barrier shut on me despite it giving me a green light. First point of contact was with my hand which was bent back quite forcefully (given that I was moving forward and the barrier snapped backwards). Could easily have been a nasty sprain or worse.

In a thread full of red herrings and tangents can anyone confirm the answer to the original question: is an on-train ticket seller correct to refuse to sell a ticket for a future journey?

And how does that differ from Mr Smith buying the same ticket online (or even from the booking office) and ignoring the restrictions? Meanwhile Mr Jones has to pay extra, or miss his train, just because you think RPI's job should be made easier.

You don't like the facts so try to discredit the source?

Probably just a data input error.

I'd much rather unprofessional drivers got found out before they 'have an incident' than in the aftermath of one. But hey, I'm only a passenger.

Or have two switches...

I'm not always up to date in these matters but I'm pretty sure that 'blind' has never been an acceptable noun in the context in which you've now used it twice.

I once left the Oval at the end of the day's play to see Phil Tufnell (who was playing in the game) already on the platform. Clearly making sure he didn't have to go in to bat as nightwatchman.

Not very bright. I can't imagine too many staff have had their pass taken in such circumstances. He'll be fairly easy to identify should the powers that be wish to do so.

Totally off topic but it seems we went to the same school from the same starting point, albeit 20-odd years apart. Small world! I travelled home from Farringdon and Aldwych on occasions but never thought of using Chancery Lane. Seems obvious in hindsight. From the age of around 13 I was...

So rather than ask 'can you move your bag off my feet?' you just kicked it. Makes you part of the problem, surely?

I'm not the one saying a legal judgement is wrong. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- 15 years studying. Did you actually pass the exams?

And your legal qualifications are what, exactly?

How about customer service for a start? It's supposed to be a *national* rail network, after all. Your argument is one step away from 'what's in it for TOC A to sell TOC B's tickets'?

What did the monitors outside the Essex Road station entrance say?

Legal but hardly insurmountable.
