Brighton (All Stations) - What does it mean?

It most definitely is about right and wrong. Factual over opinion.
Give someone the wrong advice when it comes to a railway ticketing matter and, in the worst case scenario, they could end up with a criminal record. The information provided by yorkie2, bb21 et al was factually correct. I traced not a hint of arrogance in their replies.
You seem to take issue because there are others with a deeper of knowledge of railway ticketing and its byzantine rules and laws than yourself. That is not arrogance on their part, rather, naivety on yours.
If you are going to call those people arrogant and pompous when all they are doing is giving their correct advice freely, mostly unencumbered by frivolous opinion, then may I suggest you need to remove the chip on your shoulder and perhaps learn more about the subject, rather than criticising those who know more than you. And while I'm being personal, have you considered lessons in grammar? Along with needing to learn more about rail fares and ticketing, you seriously need to learn about punctuation and syntax.0 -

moneysaver says be nice 2 newbies so ill try to be nice but what i cant understand is why a newbie is making personnel attacks unless hes trying to impress someone(s) and perhaps get into the ticket expert gang :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Fares Advisor & Oyster Specialist - Newdeal/ukRail Fares Workshop Accredited0 -

How so? Please provide the counter points if you believe the advice was factually incorrect.
Do feel free to ask about rail tickets, their use and validities. I'm well versed in that area. Self taught and not in a 'ticket expert gang'. Although I've always sought advice when not 100% sure. I did try a RailUK 'Fares Workshop' once - it wasn't for me.
I'd be delighted to hear 'wear to get cheap train tickets from' though.
Finally, I'm not newbie, more a lurker. Only on seeing such unmitigated hogwash from yourself did I feel prompted to post.0 -
