  1. Return tickets are issued daily and are available for return as follows:—
Distances. Issued. Available for Return.
1 to 20 miles { Daily Up to and including the day after issue.
} On Saturdays From Saturday till following Monday.
21 to 200 miles Daily For one calendar month.*
Over 200 miles Daily For two calendar months.*
  • That is to say, from the 15th of one month to the 15th, inclusive, of the next or second succeeding month, as the case may be. But in all cases return tickets issued on the last day of any month are available only up to and including the last day of the following month, or second succeeding month, as the case may be. Thus, a ticket for 50 miles issued on 31st May is available only up to and including the 30th (being the last day) of June, and a ticket for 250 miles issued on 31st July is available only up to and including the 30th September.

The journey must be commenced on the day of issue and completed on or before the date on which the ticket expires. Should there be no train running on the day of expiry which would enable the traveller to complete his journey he may use his ticket by the first available train thereafter.

  1. Single tickets will be available for the day of issue only.

  2. Single or return tickets for distances of 20 miles and under will not be available for break of journey. Passengers holding single or return tickets for distances over 20 miles may break the journey at any station, at which the train is timed to stop, after travelling 20 miles from the original starting-station. In the case of single tickets the journey must be completed on the day the ticket is taken out.

  3. Children under 3 years of age travel free; children under 12 years of age at half-rates.

  4. Flag-station tickets will be issued only to the next rebooking station.

  5. When tickets are issued in the train to passengers entering at any station where there is an officer in charge, instead of being issued from the booking-office at such station, sixpence in addition to the ordinary fare will be charged.
