Also he used the First portion going West , so he can't use the remainder on an eastbound train, it's a one way ticket. ONE WAY. so if you go WEST that is one way. You can't go west and then east, that would be TWO ways.

As far as the color boxes go, it's determined by the time when the ticket was activated. So tickets activated all within the same time period will all have the same color boxes.
