Our return tickets from Euston to Northampton. Gone are the

days of an advanced return fare for this journey of £25 in total now being £25 each! As I stated in my introduction to this day, it was another example of London Northwestern’s lapse approach to ticket inspections. There was no gate line at Euston and the barriers were open on arrival at Northampton. In addition, the guard aboard the train stayed firmly away from the passengers throughout the journey only to be heard making occasional announcements including the usual and patronising ‘see it, say it, sort it’ message.
