Hello my lovelies,
Good old trip.com have sold me the below ticket but the itin time contradicts the restriction code. It is BH Monday but the restriction still seems to apply.
Am I safe ?
Ta,
Nick
Trip.com have been known to offer problematic tickets/itineraries occasionally, but in this instance they are absolutely correct. Time restrictions on Off-Peak tickets and Railcards generally don't apply on Bank Holidays and restriction code B1 is no exception to this; you would get the same ticket/itinerary from any other journey planner.
I appreciate it isn't explicitly spelled out in the text of the restriction code (it should be) but the electronic restriction that journey planners follow show that the restrictions only apply until Sun 25 Aug and thereafter from Tue 27 Aug again:
And with an accredited journey planner having offered you that ticket for that itinerary, you are contractually entitled to travel in accordance with it - not that you will encounter any issues, as the non-application of restrictions on BHs is long-standing custom and practice.
