    I got on the train at Broombridge this mroning and when I went to pay for my ticket I was told that you need a 'Right to travel' card to use Broombridge.

    Has anyone heard of thsi?

    It sounds like nonsense and is definitely knew. If it's no longer a normal station, trains shouldn't stop there.

    Erm, had someone been telling the ticket agent he was working for National Rail in the UK?

    No such concept here unless one has recently been introduced - but there is in the UK - a "Permit to travel" for when a ticket machine is unavailable.

    Came across that concept in England years ago, but hard to imagine them having any facility to buy a ticket like that in the hellhole that is Broombridge. :confused:

    I was in Broombridge on Sunday and there didn't seem to be any machine that could issue a card.

    That can't be right - sure then only "authorised users" could use the station.

    I think that the OP was spun a yarn - Broombridge is the one station that has no ticket office facilities and therefore you have no option but to pay at the destination.
