Can you get it replaced?
Mine no longer does the gates - has another three weeks
No idea what happened to it
WOS» ticket office say they ant do anything other than issue a duplicate (which because I lost one ticket and had my purse stolen I am not eligible for)
Surely there is some way of getting a defective ticket re-issued?
I am sick of trying to defend why I have a dodgy ticket twice a day!

If a ticket fails to operate barriers, you should be eligible for a free reissue which doesn't count against or towards or limit.

I KNOW that but I cant convince WOS» office staff of the same! Is there any regulation I can quote at them? |

Have you tried asking at Paddington / Reading? Staff at the larger stations with barriers might have come across this more often and thus know how to deal with it. Or phone FGW▸ customer services. I would suggest either of those before "quoting regulations at them".

Hi, Mookiemoo! Is this, by any chance, the same ticket that has featured in a previous discussion here? http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=2517.0   |

As mentioned earlier, Replacements due to encoding issues are simple enough and should be done by Worcester for you, but Reading or Paddington will deal with it as earlier mentioned  |

No idea what happened to it
Any chance you keep it close to/with your mobile phone? My staff pass stopped working in the gates for this reason. |

Tickets that you buy on the train. ... not surprising it doesn't work in the barriers..... they rarely do  |
