Oh dear. But my original quotation (as posted at 1.40pm on 17/05) with regard to my suggestion that it was wrong to have sold non-railcard-discounted tickets before 24 April for travel after 18 May, when railcard discounts are now universally available, was actually a quotation from a Customer Relations Adviser at a train operating company. I quote her again: "I will happily refund the difference for you on the ticket ... I will happily ensure a cheque is issued for the difference". I quote me again: "... a gentle prod is definitely worth trying!" Recent posts seem increasingly to suggest that the only consistent element in this fares farrago is a stupendously high level of inconsistency and incompetence!

Different TOCs have different policies. You must have found a nice one that day!!!
