STAR is the ticket issuing facility. FGW▸ use but only at stations that have always been FGW's, not ex-Wessex staions. If STAR isn't used you won't be able to get the detailed receipt.
FGW are swithing entirely to STAR in September, Tribute receipt's have ticket details on them I believe?? Well, I have never been given a detailed receipt - ever - i stopped asking for one about three years ago when all it proved was "a train somewhere" and the amount! This was both station and on train! Has tribute been brought in since? |

Tribute is the ex-Wessex system and has been around for a while. Hereford is ATW▸ station and they use STAR so you should be fine from there.

Hereford is the exception not the rule Most commonly it is PAddington/Reading/Slough/On the train - that I buy tickets! If I go through hereford its on the way home (except for today when I got the 1615 fro ludlow!) |

The ticket remains the property of the Train Operating Company that issued the ticket, they are selling you a journey and not a piece of paper the ticket is a voucher proving you have paid for the journey undertaken. It is in their gift however to allow you to retain said voucher at the end of the journey

The ticket remains the property of the Train Operating Company that issued the ticket So in the fractured post-privatisation network, by what mechanism is an employee or ticket barrier belonging to one TOC▸ able to claim ownership of a ticket issued by a different TOC? |

I actually thought tickets were owned by ATOC» , rather than an individual TOC▸ .

Going back to the original post, this is section 3/1/1.2 from the ATOC» Ticket Examiners Handbook and National Routing Guide:
1.2
If the customer shows an out of date Railcard:
Charge the customer the undiscounted adult fare for the journey as if they had no ticket.
However my personal stance is to withdraw the out of date railcard and depending on my particular mood that day either charge the difference between the discounted and non discounted fare, or to simply allow the passenger to complete their journey. Like most of my dealings with the public, the price I charge is influenced by the passenger's attitute, it pays to be nice to us!
