We realised after a game that a player had completed a high value ticket, also collected a large bonus, without actually meeting all requirements. This happened to put him well in the lead overall. We are now considering what to do.
Choices we thought of:
a) do nothing
b) replay the game, regarding any permanent changes as water under the bridge to be left as is eg new large city.
c) refuse him the high value ticket: deduct the score he gained for it; apply the incomplete ticket penalty; deduct the bonus he collected
d) intermediate penalty: no bonus (its location specific); but allow the high value ticket, as he could probably manage alternative completion route.
e) a test draw: draw a fixed number of train cards to try & match the requirements (if match, no penalties applied).
Does anyone have further suggestions or view?

Use spare bank slips for each player other than the player who made the mistake, where you fill in the year at the top just put "ERROR" or something like that so you all know what it is, ignore coins remaining, trains remaining, ticket value - just put the Total amount of the ticket + the bonus in the Total line. Therefore while you cant recover the things like who came first who came second etc. you can balance out the money for the end of campaign score.
Alternatively, open up that players Vault and find the bank slip and re-write it making the necessary adjustment.
