Not a bad use of the stock during idle time.

Wasn't advertised on the CIS at Chester, I can assure you of that. It didn't even state "First Class accommodation" available. In actual fact, the only message(s) the CIS had in relation to the extra trains was "Reported full and standing".

The ATW supplement even has a restriction code (PC), which explicitly states NOT VALID AT WEEKENDS.

Fujitsu JourneyPlanner, or STAR/Avantix Mobile for that matter, does not show any supplement for that amount either.

As I have not been sent an ATOC PIF, (Product Implementation Form) for the product you describe, I would be interested to know how the fare was created, because it isn't one that ATW HQ has approved as far as I can ascertain.

If someone could kindly upload a scan/photo of the ticket I would be most interested to see how it looks.

I have a feeling that a conductor may have been a little inventive.
