On Saturday last, 12th, I boarded an XC service at Sheffield for my journey to Derby. At the seat where I sat, someone had left some used tickets, they were as follows:
2 x Off Peak Day Returns from Wakefield Westgate/Kirkgate to York, priced £13,50 each and endorsed 'Valid only on Northern Trains services'
2 x Off Peak Day Singles from York to Wakefield Westgate, priced £17.60 each, issued on board by Crosscountry Trains just four minutes after departure from York.
Clearly the couple who bought the tickets from Wakefield thought it would be ok to get the XC service to return but were made to purchase two new Singles by the TM.
Presumably, paying the excess amount was not an option?
