One way evesham- brentford via rdg and Virginia water - first class - 50.60 That's what a guy on the train was just sold to go to brentford and what I was quoted when I asked. What's the catch?

Whoever the TM was on the train that left worcester at 630ish - I would give the train time however even the crew didnt know what train it was meant to be! Title: Re: something wrong here?

Without trying to sound harsh, perhaps it was a penalty fare or something...?? Title: Re: something wrong here?

No - I have my season - I was merely amazed when he sold the fifty quid fare as I thought a single just to reading was more.
