PASSENGERS.

A charge of £1 will be made for each ticket issued in lieu of annual season ticket lost.

Children over 3 years and not exceeding 12 years of age will be charged half rates for Season Tickets.

Family Season Tickets.

Family Season Tickets will be issued to families at two-thirds of the rate of ordinary Season Tickets for each person. Family Tickets for less than four persons will be charged as for four persons.

Lost Season Tickets.

Passengers who have lost their Season Tickets should make a written declaration to that effect to the Stationmaster at the station where the original ticket was procured. The Stationmaster will certify to the issue of the ticket, and report to the District Manager, who will arrange for another ticket to be supplied on payment of 10 per cent. of the value of the unexpired period for which the ticket is available. Minimum charge, 2s.; maximum, 20s. This does not apply to Commutation Tickets, nor to tickets issued under Regulation No. 16.

Transfer of Season Tickets.

Season Tickets other than Annual (Regulation 16) will be transferred from the holder to another person on payment of 10 per cent. of the value of the unexpired period for which the ticket is available. Minimum charge, 2s.; maximum 10s. (For conditions of transfer of annual tickets see Regulation No. 16.) Application for transfer must be made to the Stationmaster at the station from which the original Season Ticket was procured. The ticket to be transferred, together with the transfer-fee, must be deposited when application for transfer is made. This does not apply to Commutation Tickets.

Single Commutation Tickets.

Fifty-trip Tickets are issued for distances not over twenty miles. They will be sold only to persons resident in the neighbourhood of the issuing Station, and will be available for use by the purchaser only, whose name must be inscribed thereon. They are available for two months from the date of issue. Portions not used on or before the date on which the ticket expires and portions punched or detached are not available for use.
