I find this hilariously ridiculous - I got on the coach to go from Loughborough to London yesterday, to be told that the PDF of my printable ticket isn't technically valid and that in a few weeks inspectors that get on can fine you £20 for not having printed it.
I get that they have the mobile tickets that you can pay an extra 50p each time for..but given that we live in a smart phone age I can't believe they will potentially fine you!
It's not like they take the ticket off you, mark it, do ANYTHING at all, and even if you were to create a fake ticket, printed of not it makes no difference at all.
As well as this, the other week a girl had lost her ticket and got a reference number from the telephone support, and the driver wouldn't let her on until he saw it transferred from a note on her phone, to a piece of paper.
She used an old tissue... and it was validated -_-
