but they're gonna use the same tracks and stations for the most part, might as well standardize ticketing practices
However, the ticket may be an unreserved ticket (ie, guarantees you passage but no guarantee of a seat), depending on the train you take
-
-
Are they fixed time tickets or open tickets? (ie if you miss your train do you have to pay again, or at least queue up again?)
-
If there's no seat reservation then I think it's open--a seat reservation is for a specific trip, though
-
So not like the "counted place" reservations on UK Advance tickets where you are tied to a train but lack a seat number?
-
Right--an unreserved ticket simply books your passage between two specified stations, you can take any* train at any time
-
* = provided the train isn't reserved-only, of course; certain other trains will require surcharges to ride even w/o a seat reservation
-
It's complicated to explain but pretty intuitive in practice...I've done a thread about it in the past:https://twitter.com/380kmh/status/809847006160162817 …
