In four years, the cross boundary fare went from £2.00 in 2010 to £3.00 in 2014. By contrast, when the office moved to Wigan in2014, the rail fare with a Disabled Person's Railcard was only£2.30 return. I know the cost would be higher if paying full fare but this example just shows the difference.

I would of thought for the avoidance of doubt, that a fare should be paid from the boarding point to the first 0930 (0900 in some areas) scheduled point on the journey in question, than scan the pass at that location, to complete the journey.
