Rail Replacements

[Mega Kickdown]

just curious, do we all actually pay for rail replacements?

and drivers, do we check tickets?

You're supposed to at least.
& sometimes I've seen the staff at the station/coordinator check tickets, often they don't.

i heard drivers arent meant to, but most have passengers show them anyway

and there are revenue staff who are meant to check, but these revenue staff are only based in major stations ofc

This might sound so stupid but could you use a bus pass for a rail replacement service?

In the West Midlands N network & concessionary passes the same as those accepted on rail.

Yes, you must have a valid rail ticket.

No, passes for bus travel are only valid on bus services, a rail replacement is still a train journey, just operated by a bus.

The exception, as pointed out earlier, would be nNetwork passes, which are valid on bus, metro and train services.

i showed a standard bus ticket to a revenue inspector and he said its fine to ride on, the actual bus looked like a local bus

that was the only time i was asked to show a ticket...

so you need a rail ticket if you go out of nBus
