Anyone had any oddities as regards ticketing/excess etc on British/National Rail?
Way back in the late 1960s I paid my first visit to the IOW railways. Leaving parents on beach at Shanklin I seemed to have walked to Sandown and travelled by open top bus to Ryde, the ticket being valid for return by rail. At Ryde I walked down to the Pier Head station and returned by train right through to Shanklin. On arrival, I had a single Ryde PH to Esplanade, the return half of my bus ticket and paid an excess single from Sandown!
