Dave,

It's about 85 miles, why not drive?

no car.

right....my mate who was going with a railcard told me last night he could only get a £75 return. this made me panic, so i went to the ticket office with all the pieces of paper and screenshots from yesterday, whereby the man tells me the internet must be wrongand if i try to go on with the ticket i had i WOULD get fined. rather than risk this i decided to go for the safe option, and to be fair the ticket office man only made me pay 50 rather than 75.

BUT

in euston walking to get on the train, the barrier man looks at me and my mates tickets (the 75 ones) and informs us we could have got off peak ones because of our railcards

Write in and complain, photocopy any tickets you were able to keep hold of.

The ticketing system on the trains is so complex that none of the staff understand it, much less the passengers.

How would you get fined? Aren't all the tickets checked by the machines?

Surely the worst that would have happened is the machine not letting you through, at which point you could just explain to the person on the machines. Besides, its not your fault if an official ticket seller issued tickets incorrectly - no way in hell they could hold you responsible for that.

i was thinking more along the lines of the person on the train seeing, and if not getting a fine then getting hassle which would have made me late. oh well, at least i know for next time

Do they still have people checking tickets on the train?

I thought all the stations had ticket machines now, so you couldn't get on and off without a valid ticket.
