Stevenage station does have barriers and usually a couple of "boarder guards" manning them, they will and often involve BTP with any issues surrounding ticketing.  


In that case if you were to get a ticket to KX and get off at Stevenage you will more than likely incur a fine.

I am not an expert Les to be honest but I think it would depend on which type ticket you bought. If the rail companies have a sale I think you would still get a decent fare deal if you booked Donny/Peterborough/Newark to Stevenage without the need to book to Kings X. I have done similar before going in the other direction.

Does Stevenage station have ticket barriers though? If it does I doubt it will accept a Kings Cross ticket to get out and you could end up getting fined. If it has no barriers then you should be fine.


There are ticket barriers at Stevenage fyi

For £2 return you can buy a Knebworth to Stevenage ticket as well to get you through the barriers at Stevenage.

The other idea might be to get a ticket on Virgin to Peterborough and then get the Great Northern train from Peterborough which stops at Stevenage with a separate ticket?

It takes 50 minutes because it stops at places but at the weekends Great Northern do a Super Off-peak Day return which costs £11.80. A Virgin train takes 30 minutes

Just a thought

I'm no corbinistas but doesn't this whole discussion plus the southern trains debacle make you wonder that Corbin is on to something with public ownership of the railways? The whole thing is utter madness

Funnily enough I bumped him to Corbin at Stevenage railway station a couple of weeks before Christmas, I am a died in the wool labour supporter but I have to say face to face he was really unimpressive TBH.

What's really ridiculous is that so many of these so called "private firms" are in fact European state owned railway companies in disguise - like Abellio Greater Anglia/Scotrail is really the Dutch State Railway and Arriva/Chiltern Railways is actually Deutsche Bahn.

If German and Dutch public sector train companies can run railways you wonder why British Rail wasn't able to?

Just what does that mean? How was he un-impressive ? Did you sit and discuss a hot topic of the day or is the unimpressive diagnosis based on what he looked like in the flesh ?

British Rail was able to.

The Tories deliberately run it in to the ground so they could sell it off cheap. They would rather pay private companies subsidies to make a profit, than have a public company running it for the good of the nation.
