PASSENGERS

(f) 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.

(g) The Department may decline to issue or renew a season ticket.

(h) 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.

(i) 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.

Application for Season Tickets and commutation tickets which are not stocked at the station concerned must be lodged with the Manager or Stationmaster at least three clear days before the ticket is required in each case.
School Season Tickets.--(a) When any railway carriage, or compartment in a railway carriage, on any train has been reserved for the accommodation of scholars and students, school season tickets, free school season tickets, and technical school season tickets shall be available only when the holder travels for the whole of the journey in that carriage or compartment.

(b) When no railway carriage, or compartment in a railway carriage, on any train has been reserved for the accommodation of scholars and students, school season tickets, free school season tickets, and technical school season tickets shall be available only when the holder travels for the whole of the journey in a carriage or compartment or part of a carriage or compartment not reserved for smoking.

(c) School season tickets, free school season tickets, or technical school season tickets may, at the option of the Department and without prejudice to any other penalty to which the holder may be liable, be forfeited in the event of any breach of any regulation or condition governing the issue or use of such tickets.

Change of Class.--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 appropriate single fares for the respective classes.
Expiry of Season Tickets.--(a) 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.

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

Season Tickets Issued for Broken Periods.--Season tickets (Regulations 12, 14, 15, 16, and 18) will be issued from any date in a month to include not less than the full month, quarter, half-year, or year following at a pro rata charge for the broken period being added to the charge for the succeeding month, quarter, half-year, or year, as the case may be. The fare for pro rata season tickets will be calculated as follows:--

Monthly tickets--1/30th of the monthly fare for each day in the unexpired portion of the broken calendar month covered by the ticket, plus the full fare for the succeeding month.

Quarterly tickets--1/90th of the quarterly fare for each day in the unexpired portion of the broken period covered by the ticket, plus the full fare for the succeeding quarter, and subject to the half-yearly fare as a maximum.

Half-yearly tickets--1/180th of the half-yearly fare for each day in the unexpired portion of the broken period, plus the full fare for the succeeding half-year, subject to the yearly fare as a maximum.

Yearly tickets--1/360th of the yearly fare for each day in the unexpired portion of the broken period, plus the full fare for the succeeding year.

Torn or Defaced Season Tickets will not be recognized for travel. A charge of 2s. 6d. will be made for replacing each such ticket.
Lost Season Tickets.--(a) Should a season ticket be lost, immediate notice must be given to the Department. The holder of the original ticket shall not be entitled to a duplicate ticket, but a duplicate ticket may, at the discretion of the Department, be issued on payment of 10 per cent. of the value of the unexpired period for which the ticket is available. Minimum charge, 4s. maximum, £2. This does not apply to tickets issued under Regulations 11 and 18.

(b) For the purpose of this paragraph the value of the unexpired period for which a season ticket is available will be calculated as follows:--

Monthly tickets--1/30th of the monthly fare for each day in the unexpired portion of the calendar month covered by the ticket.

Quarterly tickets--1/90th of the quarterly fare for each day in the unexpired portion of the period covered by the ticket.

Half-yearly tickets--1/180th of the half-yearly fare for each day in the unexpired portion of the period.

Yearly tickets--1/360th of the yearly fare for each day in the unexpired portion of the period.
