In fact the original post needs a £ sign, unless the tickets are really cheap! Ah, and there was me thinking the 'p' related to 'pence'.

Could work on intelligence though if those playing up was to use the card the could be identified easier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted July 5, 2022 Admin Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 Just travelling back from Parson Street to Weston and had time to kill (and unusually sober) so read the history displayed about the station and read about a group save ticket for 389 children was once purchased. I am intrigued to know if @Never to the dark sidewas on the trip and I wonder what GWR would say if someone tried to buy the equivalent ticket today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never to the dark side Posted July 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 I think this ticket would have been issued at the BTM booking office,and 9th july 1976 was a friday so that meant no school the following day Although the ticket COULD have said 1970. I would not have worked the train as I was based at BTM at the time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
