Today i used a weekly Stagecoach Northwest Megarider Gold purchased from Chorley interchange.
No problems at all until i reached Liverpool and attempted to go to Chester on the X8.
In fairness the driver had not seen one before but said he would take a gamble and let me on.
I then attempted to board a Chester to Ellesmere Port service,the driver said it was not valid around here,after downloadiing the ticket boundary map to my mobile,he apologised and let me on.
The funny thing was,i used it on an Arriva quality partnership service 2 back to Liverpool no problem at all.I asked if it was valid as it said in the Merseytravel timetable booklet that all Stagecoach tickets are valid on Arriva service 2 and visa versa and he said yes.
So how come the Arriva driver new what it was,yet Stagecoach drivers didnt. When all said and done it is a Stagecoach Merseyside and South Lancashire ticket,issued on that companys buses?
