Watch Out For Misleading Labels On Train Tickets and elsewhere




 Good news for thousands of people who were prosecuted by rail companies for fare evasion. Tickets the passengers believed were valid were not valid for certain hours. 

Anytime tickets which are not any time are at best confusing. Some would admit the wording is misleading. To,  my first glance, the wording is fraudulent.

So are so-called 'life' sentences for crime which are not for life, not whole, and, IMHO should be re-labelled half life).

IMHO = in my humble opinion

On the positive side, I often find station staff cheerful, friendly, glad to help.
