6. In the case of a passenger who purchases a ticket for a journey of 25 miles
   or under, and who is unable to travel within the availability of such ticket,
   a refund may be made, provided a fresh ticket is purchased for the journey. Only
   in special circumstances will refunds be granted on tickets for journeys of 25
   miles or under, except where the Department is unable to fulfil its contract
   with the passenger.

7. Where a ticket or the unused portion of a ticket is surrendered to the
   Department and a refund of the value of the ticket or the unused portion of a
   ticket is applied for, a deduction of 10 per cent. (minimum deduction, ls.;
   maximum deduction, 5s.) may be made on all sums payable by the Department
   by way of refund.

8. Refunds on Season Tickets.

9. Refunds as under may be allowed on season tickets (Regulation 12)
   permanently surrendered to the Department during their currency; provided
   that if any reduction on another ticket has been made on account of or in
   connection with a surrendered ticket, the value of such reduction shall be
   deducted from the amount, if any, that may be refunded.

Monthly tickets: No refund.

Quarterly, half-yearly, and yearly tickets: The portion of the currency
of the ticket that has expired up to the date of surrender will be
charged for on the monthly, quarterly, or half-yearly basis, as the
