I can understand your anger panther and it is Lancashire United at fault, NOT the driver. You must appreciate that the driver is not trained to recognise the age of passengers and although it may be obvious to you, your daughter may give the impression of being 14 especially being so tall!

A few years back, I worked for Arriva down south and their policy was to trust implicitly the age given by a passenger and in training, I was told that if a 30 year old woman boarded the bus and said her age was 13, we were not to query it but give her a childs ticket. ridiculous, but it prevented anger from their customers.

So if you go south and board an Arriva bus, just say you are 13 (unless you have an old age pensioners pass )
