View submission: Merseyrail physical ticket scandalous
Last month I dropped my day ticket before getting on, didn’t realise. Agent approached as soon as I boarded and I ended up with a fine. Sod’s law.
Showed her my ApplePay from 5 mins earlier but she wouldn’t accept it. It was more embarrassing than anything! - have never seen/experienced anything like it and I’ve travelled loads.
Went back to the station a few days later and saw the guy who sold me the ticket. Told him what happened as we often chat and he let me know they’d recently fined a 15 year old girl who had lost her ticket at school, then rejected her appeal. Scummy rules that impact both locals & tourists 🤦🏻♀️

Just refuse to give details and say you’ll get off at the next stop. They’re all rats the lot of them. Once you’re outside the train station they can’t do fuck all
