Penalty fares for sitting in First Class
those days) and I regularly upgraded to First - if I had time I would
do it at the ticket office or if the train was busy I would sit in first and pay the excess fare - definately only the difference between You can do this if you have a normal ticket, but not a season ticket. If you have a season ticket you are treated as a fare-dodger and they will likely withdraw the season ticket at the same time for inappropriate use. The conditions of carriage state the ticket upgrade must be purchased before the journey begins if you have a season. Regards, Dave |

Regards, Dave Thanks for all the comments - it just seemed that it was no longer possible under any circumstances to upgrade once you had boarded the train. As I am now retired and have a disabled wife who cannot easily use public transport my train travel is very restricted nowadays Thanks again Bill |
