Only at the time when Silverlink ceased and LOROL took over did it transfer to LU operation and even then things like ticketing remain on NR equipment and NR ticketing rules (the same applies all the way up to Harrow, barring Willesden Junction which is LOROL operated). Happy to be corrected if LT did run it back from 1933 or whenever and it then later passed to BR. I'd be surprised that LT would have ceded ownership (and the revenue) if it had had any choice. Queens Park certainly issued LTE tickets whereas the stations further on had BR tickets. |

Queens Park certainly issued LTE tickets whereas the stations further on had BR tickets. ITYF Queens Park issued both BR and LT tickets. This appeared to cause some adverse comment at my local BR station during a period when the fare was a round number of shillings/5ps and some passengers were occasionally issued with an LT station-of-origin ticket instead of the correct Queens Park to destination ticket, presumably as the income from the former was by default sent to LT. |
