PaRtZ Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 My girlfriend came down to see me, and on the way back the ticket didnt get swallowed by the machine, so she posted it to me and I have it. Its unmarked, but it must have gone into the ticket machine at swansea station so she could get onto the platform to get her train home (LLandudno).So now Im going to leeds. Its valid until the 15th of February and I can get a train to manchester piccadilly which cunningly goes to LLandudno + Leeds. So I can use the ticket and say Im going to Llandudno, and then just buy tickets from manchester to leeds Has anyone done this before? And if so is it going to work or not? My only fear is that the ticket was read when she got on the platform in swansea and THAT made it void.... Has anyone used the same ticket twice?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigman Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I know sometimes that ticket machines in car parks will give you the ticket back as a reciept, might be worth a try, but i would keep enough cash just incase it doesn't work......Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendrix Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 The only thing it won't work on is the ticket barriers. The guards won't be able to check if it's been used on board a train, and generally they just check the date & destination.As said before though, make sure you have enough cash on you, revenue guys can be brutal at times..

Otacon Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Them ticket barrier things at stations make me laugh.I generally carry some of my old train tickets in my Railcard holder, So one day i was riding in Reading, brought my ticket etc and put it in with the rest of my tickets in my railcard wallet, got to the barriers, and i still had tickets in their from leicester, coventry, leeds etc, grabbed a ticket out my walled, stuck it in to get out, and went through, looked at my ticket that popped back out and realised, i'd put a ticket in that showed i was going to leeds.Ive now done this at a few other stations aswell, all it does is recognise the feel and shape of the card, heck if you find one on the floor of the train that will work.

PaRtZ Posted February 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 ok I think ive come up with a planIf I buy a legit ticket to the stop which is just down the road (Neath I think) I can use that to get through the barriers. Then on the train I can use the ticket to manchester beast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
