(12 Aug 2016, 1:27 pm)R852 PRG To be completely honest, it'll have likely have been confusion more than anything. Drivers generally expect to see a bus ticket rather than a Metro ticket if you're showing a previously bought ticket to travel. I've had it before on Northern Rail between Newcastle and Sunderland, where the guard has been a bit funny about it because it was an Explorer purchased on an Arriva bus.
Confusion?!
If I got refused on a bus because my
multi-operator ticket was printed on
another operator's ticket stock I'd ask them what would does their multi-operator ticket look like...
Surely, they'd know what CAT, Explorer, Rover are..........and what they're valid on.
And with GNE, would a quick call through to Control do much harm asking if it's valid or not? Instead, the driver threatened the passenger with refusal of boarding the vehicle the next time he sees them...
