The passenger watchdog Transport Focus has called for a rethink by operators over how they deal with passengers who have made a mistake when buying a ticket. The watchdog says it wants operators to ‘play fair’ with passengers who have made a mistake for the first time. They would be identified, informed of the reason for their error and the facts recorded so that they could be checked if problems occurred again.
