we see a young woman
saying she's being prosecuted for getting off a SWT train early on a
Megatrain ticket, which rather ties in with another thread on uk.r.


Well, I suppose we don't know the particular circumstances of that
event, though I'd guess that she got off at Clapham Junction rather
than Waterloo


Eastleigh instead of Southampton. They admit they changed plans and got
off early (to see some friends) but claim they can't understand why they
are being penalised for making a shorter journey than they paid for.


No Roland, please don't confuse matters!

I'm referring to the reader's comment that Roy flagged up from a
'Jenny' that appears underneath the Evening Standard story on their
website wot Roy linked to in a post upthread - it is a completely
different case from the Eastleigh story being discussed in a totally
separate thread (on uk.r)!

For reference, the Standard story with the comment in question is
he
http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23492257-.do

(And for the reference of others, the thread about the Eastleigh case
is entitled 'Fined £114 for being caught "short" '.)
