When I was in Sydney recently, I purchased a Wynyard to Kiama return
ticket.
When I returned to Sydney, I tried to exit at Central because that
station was
closest to my destination, but the validators would not accept it. I had
to exit
via the manned gate, where it was accepted.
I would have thought that a ticket would have been valid at any Sydney
station
that was not beyond the purchasing station.
Any answers?
