First accidentally doubled the cost of its weekly bus and train ticket - because of an admin error

Rail commuters are to be refunded - after an operator accidentally DOUBLED the price of a weekly bus and train ticket.

First has promised to reimburse commuters after an ‘administrative error’ led a 99% rise in the price of its weekly First Bus & Rail.

The Holmfirth and Meltham Connection ticket, valid between Holme Valley and Leeds city centre, was unintentionally increased from £24 to £47.60 during a raft of fare rises on Monday.

The fare has now been reduced to £28.80, an increase of 20%.

Do many people actually buy these tickets? I use the meltham route frequently but I've never actually seen anyone buy one

This raise two questions.

Will First refund people who realised they were now cheaper buying individual tickets (or a Metrocard) then the erroneously priced ticket?

Do they think the correct 20% increase is reasonable?
