They even told us in training that we aren't ticket inspectors, so just check it's valid when they got on and move on to the next customer - there's no point arguing with someone overriding. Last time I did the X24 I had a couple people who'd used a Newcastle Megarider to get on in Newcastle - only to find the machine throws a hissy when they try to use it to come back. That's the view I'd take with other things - if it's valid at the boarding point, it's good enough. If you can't come back on that ticket because you travelled outside it's validity, that's your problem.

I remember getting the OK travel 44b to town one Saturday. He stopped at the 3 mile in and went upstairs and brought down 3 sheepish looking teenagers and made them pay for another ticket. His last words as they went back upstairs were if your traveling to Newcastle you pay to Newcastle in a menacing voice.
