Oyster Extension Permits (OEPs)
In message , Tim Roll-Pickering
writes So the interesting legal point - can a TOC legally enforce a penalty fare if it can be shown that the correct ticket was not available to passengers at the starting station? Probably not (or at least the PF can be appealed against). The DfT make the situation clear he http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/rail/legis...policya?page=7 But with OEPs rapidly becoming available on automatic ticket machines across London, it would probably be necessary to establish that the ticket machine was broken and there was no other one available nearby. Of course, if the ticket office staff are asked for an OEP and they claim never to have heard of such a thing - even to the extent of saying "you'll have to use the machine over there", I think one might enjoy a very successful appeal. -- Paul Terry |
