  1. Season Tickets.

  2. Season tickets are issued and must be used subject to, and in conformity with, the by-laws, rules, regulations, and arrangements from time to time in force on every railway or steamboat over or on which the said tickets are available, including alterations in the number and times fixed for the starting or arrival of trains or steamboats. The Department is not to be liable under any circumstances for any consequences arising from such alterations, or for want of accommodation in any train or steamboat, or for any detention or delay in the starting or arrival of trains or steamboats.

  3. The Department is not under any circumstances whatsoever to be held liable for the discontinuance, whether permanent or otherwise, of the running of any trains or steamboats, or for any consequences arising from such discontinuance.

  4. Season tickets are available only at and between the stations named thereon, including (unless otherwise stated) intermediate stations.

  5. A season ticket is, unless otherwise provided, not transferable, and if irregularly transferred will, without prejudice to any other penalty for such transference, be forfeited.

  6. A season ticket is issued on the express condition that it is not available for any journey unless it is produced and delivered up on demand to any officer or servant of the Department; and if such ticket is not so produced and/or delivered up the holder thereof shall be deemed not to have paid the fare for that particular journey, and such fare shall be recoverable by the Department from such holder.

  7. Any holder of a season ticket travelling in a class of carriage superior to that for which the ticket was issued must pay the difference between the ordinary single fares for the respective classes.

  8. Expired season tickets must be delivered up to the Department, and for this purpose may be handed to any stationmaster, guard, or ticket-collector.

  9. The Department will not bind itself to carry the holder of any season ticket in any particular train or class of carriage; and if the holder travels by any train not provided with the class of accommodation covered by the ticket the difference in fare will not be refunded.

  10. The Department may decline to issue or renew a season ticket.

  11. A season ticket is liable to forfeiture if there be a breach of any regulation or condition governing its use or subject to which it is issued.

  12. The Department is under no obligation to make a refund on any season ticket not used for the full term thereof, and in no case will any refund or extension be allowed for any period for which such ticket may be temporarily out of use.

  13. The acceptance of a season ticket will be held to constitute an acceptance of the regulations and conditions set out above and of all other regulations and conditions governing its use or subject to which it is issued.

  14. Application for season tickets (and commutation tickets when such are not stocked at the station concerned) must be made on a form obtainable at any railway ticket-office, and must (unless the season ticket required is kept in stock at the station at which it is to be issued) be lodged with the Manager or Stationmaster at least three clear days before the ticket is required in each case.

  15. Except as otherwise provided, the currency of all season tickets will commence on the first day and expire on the last day of a calendar month only.

  16. Torn or defaced season tickets will not be recognized for travel. A charge of 1s. 6d. will be made for replacing each such ticket.
