    Strictly speaking, I believe it's illegal to resell rail tickets.....

    I can imagine the CPS are considering criminal charges as we speak. An armed response unit is on standby.

    I didn't say that I agree with it being illegal!

    No - not if they haven't been used at all. It's illegal to sell eg the return half only.

    I don't think that's correct, for example:

    Apparently, it's prohibited by Section 21 of the Railway Byelaws of 22 June 2005:
