Delay Repay vouchers replaced

2015, Clive Page remarked: Perhaps the time has arrived for all grippers to use properly coded grips, as some continental countries do, and for a claim to only be accepted on production of an appropriately marked ticket? Season ticket holders would have to be given some sort of voucher on the train. But there are vast numbers of routes where there are rarely any on-train ticket checks and nothing but ticket barriers at each end. How then to get proof of which train you took? Also many unbarriered stations (even big ones like New Street), plus those where the barriers are frequently left open (like Kings Cross) even when it's not late in the evening [barrier lines have to be manned, and not many are manned very far into the evening]. Also (and slight thread convergence here) places where you can change from tube to National Rail without going through a barrier. I did that at Finsbury Park this week - no barriers on that NR platform, and no tube barriers for the big spiral stairs. -- Roland Perry |
