Despite what it says northern social media team say you can actually purchase them at ANY TOC anywhere as long you only use it to travel on northern services

I thought it was a possibility that the OP may have I had one and was on a VTEC service and also I was just enquiring in general

Thanks Yorkie that is the point I was making but you put it so much better ,other TOCS DONT allow holdrers of DSB railcards to buy discounted ticket at destination if you board at a station with ticket purchasing facilities yet VTEC DO seem to say that if you hold a DSB railcard then you are...

I'm aware thats probably not the case here. I was just curious as IIRC only VTEC leaflet or inside timetable stated that holders of DPR can purchase onboard with the discount ( no mention of having to buy at first opportunity ) like all other TOC's that state that if no TVM'S and booking office...

Unless it has changed in the past few years or so I believe the VTEC timetables or a leaflet I read that holders of a Disabled persons railcard may pay on the train ( VTEC trains only ) and get the appropriate railcard discount ( no mention of unstaffed station and having to buy before you...

If I had been in the exact same predicament as the OP then on arrival at Euston I would have gone to the booking office at Euston explained what had happened showed the railcard which I had now found and asked for some kind of endorsement of produced railcard along with a official stamp then...

IMO the delay repay scheme is somewhat of a farce !! some companies faff around and try to be pendantic and awkward with claims even if they are straight forward claims some like Northern and VTWC dish repay out left right and centre for the most trivial things I must admit obviously the latter...

Apologies if this is in the wrong thread, but before I contest the response from Northern I hope someone on here can give me a exact answer and amount I recently bought ticket from Darwen - Clitheroe on the Saturday I was staying at my friends in Clitheroe and we was going to do the loco...

Blackburn being my local station There has always been a buffet where the shop is downstairs ( used to be trekkers) where the old booking office used to be on the concourse near the station entrance is now a "messroom" for Transdev bus staff. some of the G4S staff at Blackburn are friendly and...

Wow I cant believe the amount of jealousy shown by non rail staff!!! I dont work on the railways but I do travel by rail a lot and have the utmost respect for the railway staff and I have no problem with rail staff/family/dependents travelling free. Its nice to see a " gesture" tradition that...

He doesnt want to be sucessfully prosecuted !!!! ;)

IMO as its a clear case of intent to avoid paying fare I would say clearly a open/shut case im afraid and I would be surprised if they settled

Dont get why you tried to avoid in first place, I cant show any sympathy im afraid from what you said it sounds like a clear case of intending to travel without buying a ticket

I have seen a RPI guy stand at the entrance to the MEN arena at top of steps of platforms 4/5 on my last couple of visits to Manchester Victoria

Sometimes it can be frustrating at Salford Crescent as there is only one person in ticket office at one time and numerous times I have seen it a sign at window saying back shortly, and on more than one occasion I have waited over half a hour and still no sign of the ticket office clerk and...

Everyone knew the Olympics were being held so if the TOC has removed the Megatrain allocation of seats then surely they had more than ample time to ensure that Megatrain were unable to offer tickets on the services.
