The ORR cited one case, which was eventually dropped when a local politician looked into the issues, where a passenger was threatened with court action for accidentally choosing a 16-25 railcard discount when they held a 26-30 railcard.

The report also found passengers who had forgotten their railcard were often penalised, though it said it was difficult for rail staff to determine genuine mistakes from those who chose to deliberately underpay.

But if you are taking the train it is also worth checking whether a railcard will help, points out Ms Seymour.

Receiving PIP also means she is eligible for a disabled discount railcard, which makes travel to work more affordable.

Fans usually arrive at the station from where Styles, armed with his young person's railcard, travelled to London in 2010 to appear on ITV's X Factor.
