Transport Investigations Limited Stories

Out of interest, what if the OP having held an Anytime Day Return between Cardiff and Pencoed, wanted to travel back via the VOG line and break their journey short at Bridgend? Or even travel to Barry or Llantwit Major and break their journey and pick back up later? Would you still argue that a fare is due or a new ticket is required? The ticket is just as valid to Bridgend as it is to Pencoed for this very reason, regardless if they took a non-stop to Bridgend. No wonder the case went no further, if anything the whole ticketing system in the South Wales area needs reforming perhaps to avoid situations like this (a total waste of time and expense where absolutely £0.00 was due)

The fares for travel around the former Valley Lines are already zonally priced. It is ludicrous that they don't have zonal validity to go with that.

The worst ones are the rent a thugs who TFW use on the North Wales line.

not just North Wales, seen them at WBQ on a couple ocasions one checking tickets of northbound Avanti alighters (myself inc) while RPI is needed there is a better way than nickel and diming the honnest mistakes, go after the cerial gate jumper rather than the one offs,
