the vast majority are already live. you can load season tickets onto a smartcard at any TVM. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- onboard staff use the credit card readers to check and it fires back info to the avantix about what travel products are on the card

why can't the scottish government make it state owned?

Because not everyone is a rail enthusiast who carries around a copy of the NRCoC and their railcard at all times. Wallets aren't infinitely big and people make mistakes. TOCs make mistakes. People are generally punished. TOCs keep the fares and generally profit from their mistakes (repayment...

what are you paying right now, and what will you be paying if you can't find an alternative?

Apologies. I looked at the wrong date.

there's a ticket that exists if you go one station further to mexborough - an EC & connections for £185 with restriction code BR. i am not well versed enough to say if that would be valid for your journey or allow the same flexibility, however I'm sure someone here will know. - ignore this, i...

I'll bear that in mind in future, maybe I was getting a bit hasty --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Nope, I'm one of the most legit people in my circle! Hard to believe, but almost all my friends try getting a half when they board and I usually get my railcard fare from the...

I used conductor instead of ticket inspector - there are no conductors on this service, as they are all DOO Probably, I really don't know. Check your PM I wasn't being a smart alec really, I was just backing up a friend of mine to try stop her getting ripped off. And I am not testing...
