Title: Please check - correctness of ticket message Post by: grahame on April 19, 2014, 22:49:25 http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/Train-times-and-tickets/Buy-Before-you-Board---Penalty-Fares
says Quote It is vital to always purchase a ticket before you travel on a First Great Western train to avoid the risk of receiving a penalty fare. Which - err - isn't quite the case at Melksham, at Dilton Marsh, or even later in the day at Trowbridge. I could chuckle, except I see new users a little worried and in need of re-assurance. Does this look factually correct? http://atrebatia.info/arr_dep.pdf P.S. Yes, I know the FGW page goes on to qualify Quote f you board any of our trains without a ticket, at a station where ticket buying services are available ... but by that the the headline has frightened the more delicate reader. P.P.S. Yes, I know the sign at the top of the station approach includes a sentence on buying tickets ... people drive past it on their way to the station!
