Dr. Nick Riviera Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Then surely she has a ticket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Can't she just explain the situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted July 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) Obviosly not, she booked it had a ticket for what ever time, now that train has gone, so shes got a useless ticket and the guy in the ticket office isnt exactly gonna help.EDIT: at 1am i doubt theyll even be a ticket guy.

JT! Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 I'd get on the next train, and when the ticket guy comes, either play dumb and pretend like i got the wrong train time, or think that you had a 'any time' ticket. Chances are the guy on the train will just tell her to make sure it doesn't happen again.It'll help if she wore a low cut top too.Why can't you buy her ticket Dave?

I'd have thought she'd have missed the last train anyway, meaning some not-so-ideal issues regarding where to sleep tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamtrials Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Try and get on a virgin train, then you can do the old "oh no, I only have a solo card" thing... Used to get me from Shropshire to London for free when I was feeling twatish. Alternatively, fall asleep on the train and do not wake up no matter how hard they try to wake you But like JT says, trying to blag with the existing ticket is probably the best way, and likely to work too.

Muel Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Hasn't she got any credit/debit cards with her? Or didn't she have?Seems a bit obvious to take them if you're going to london... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) Because she's trying to get a train home from London, and Dave's in Liverpool. I'd have thought she'd have missed the last train anyway, meaning some not-so-ideal issues regarding where to sleep tonight?Well i'm assuming a lot, i'm assuming that there's another train and the ticket office is still open. So assuming Dave has some kind of card the girl could go to the ticket office and get them to call Dave and he could pay for it?But i guess the situation is that it was the last train, she has no money and or cards. But to be fair to be traveling with no cards or cash is just crazier than missing the last train. Edited July 3, 2009 by JT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NVWOCI WVS Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 I did this once. I slept in the 24 hour mcdonalds at liverpool street and managed to sneek through an open barrier in the morning and just pretended to be asleep on the train home. The guard left me alone. Win.
