Think you mean London to Leeds on friday night (and t'other way on Monday morning...). Least you get a seat on FR (to date).
And of course if you turn up for one of those trains at peak time without the right bit of paper (or get on the wrong train with advance ticket) it will cost you a
lot more than £60 per person just for getting the guard to print you a new one.
I don't know why MOL doesn't just go full circle and call his boarding cards "tickets". If you have to bring a bit of paper with you to the airport to get on the plane then that is what it is - a ticket. Lose paper ticket - no fly (or hefty re-issue fee if you are lucky) just like the old days.
