We get off the bus at Sydney St...but the ticket recods Hare and Hounds. If we were paying, the fare would be the same.

LCC are billed for the re-imbursement of 75% of the cost of the journey.

So there you go.
I don't think the bus drivers would have any interest in'jewing' the authorities....and the bus companies would be dobbed in if the drivers thought there was something underhand about what was being done.
Travel to Bury is a diiferent service provider than th ones Mick and Cashy are on about, my wife uses the same service as you Margaret from the town center and her tickets always show the correct stop.
