    In the Guardian: 'Thameslink fined me for sitting in wrong seat even though I had a ticket'

    To answer two conflated questions: because I know of many people who need that first pay cheque to cover travel.

    In the Guardian: 'Thameslink fined me for sitting in wrong seat even though I had a ticket'

    Discrepancy Greater Anglia and National Rail : IPS - CMB 04/10/2022

    That's as and maybe but the point I made earlier (and to GA Twitter) is that there are other routes back from Ipswich to Cambridge which are later than the time they advertise as final. It's misinformation.

    Discrepancy Greater Anglia and National Rail : IPS - CMB 04/10/2022

    Unless you're attending Ipswich Town vs Cambridge Utd tonight which would mean you could watch the end of the match. I think their post is directed at football fans.

    Refund on specific tickets within a journey - TrainSplit

    Forgive my ignorance in these matters but is the advance single, Ipswich to Doncaster, not a separate entity from the return ticket?
