Left hand. Meet the right hand.  Roll Eyes

Yes it's unfortunate not all staff knew, I include myself in this. The easement wasn't part of a fares round, so not always simple to get an easement added into systems from what I gather, but I don't claim to be an expert on the implementation side of things.

I agree with II that it's positive that it's been allowed, as it takes a lot of pressure off of the first off peak stopper which is shortly before this 09:27.

Slight edit in attempt to avoid my initial comment being taken in a way that was not intended.

So I paid too much to travel on that train earlier in the week.. shame... On the plus side I've been on that train a few times since it appeared on the timetable and no ticket check on the train as yet.. So all a bit of a hypothetical question really anyway  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Huh

How busy would you say it's been on average, Jo?

Yes it's unfortunate not everyone knew, but such is life.

A rather flippant remark in light of the subsequent post. I doubt johoare is this only one who has been paying too much because GWR (Great Western Railway) can't get the implementation of a fare change right.

A station announcement isn't much use if you've already bought an Anytime ticket online or from a TVM (Ticket Vending Machine).

I'd be asking GWR (Great Western Railway) for a refund of the difference.

I was referring to some staff not knowing, such as myself, but I suspect you probably knew that.

Come on the railway uses the 24 hour clock so he was posting about the 09:27 at 21:27 not 09:27!

Thanks Ollie but the ticket machine ate it on my return to Maidenhead.. I may still have the receipt but will check.. I think it's worth me buying a ticket at the ticket office for that train going forward rather than the ticket machine/online
