Are Day Returns limited to residents of the town from where they're booked?

I don't think so. Do you think this wouldn't have been challenged if you were correct?

P.S. Why do you use capitals and bold so often?

You got a couple of ^Million to take on ATOC^» (Association of Train Operating Companies See - here)?

I haven't!

because he thinks only his view matters and is the only view that he thinks is right!

All they'll do now is put up the Melksham fare, so only the people of Melksham are going to suffer higher fares!

Personally speaking, I'd be perfectly happy to pay a higher fare if it meant having an acceptable train service to and from Melksham.

Quite frankly I'd be quite happy to ride outside in a cattle truck if it came down to it - all I really want is a service that I can rely on. Preferably one that runs in daylight hours.

Well it will do soon, when the clocks go back........... sorry, bad joke

TECHNICLY buying a ticket from A to C but only travelling from B to C to avoid the correct fare from B to C is fare evasion

Incorrect, as it's explicitly permitted by Condition 16:

16. Starting, breaking or ending a journey at intermediate stations
You may start, or break and resume, a journey (in either direction in the case of a return ticket) at any intermediate station, as long as the ticket you hold is valid for the trains you want to use. You may also end your journey (in either direction in the case of a return ticket) before the destination shown on the ticket.

However, these rights may not apply to some types of tickets for which a break of journey is prohibited, in which case the relevant Train Companies will make this clear in their notices and other publications.

ps. If you want to emphasise a word by typing it in upper case, it helps if you spell it correctly...

Nice one TerminalJunkie, common sense does prevail then.

Personally I don't like personal digs at people, and yes I do think only my view is right, but then you can't hold a view if in two minds.
(I'm open for my views to be changed by senseible debate)

Suggest Mr Vacman that you study your post and how it's written very carefully.

Maybe you should tone down the aggression in some of your post's then, I was simply giving my opinion which surely is what a forum is for??

Ok, I think you have both made your point. Let's leave it there please.
