Any changes made to Advance tickets after the first booked service has departed are invalid, and a refund will not be available.

Rebookings must be made for the same journey (the origin, destination and number of passengers must not change).

If an amendment results in a lower-priced ticket, we will not refund the difference in fare.

REFUNDS TOOL

Delay or Cancellation of Travel

If the operator cancelled your train and the tickets were unused

If the operator cancelled your train and you chose not to travel, and your tickets are wholly unused (not going through the barrier, been clipped, stamped or written on...), we can offer you a refund. You will need to email us at [email protected].

When selling tickets, we obtain train times from the National Reservation System. If you are told that the operator had cancelled the train before you purchased your ticket, this is because the Train Operating Company hadn't updated the National Reservation System. As such, they must provide you with a refund.


If your train was delayed, or you still used your tickets when a train was cancelled

You will need to contact the Train Operating Company directly to make a claim. If you are unsure which train company you travelled with, please refer to your itinerary in the confirmation email and find your train operating company.


If you need to cancel due to medical reasons

While advance tickets are typically non-refundable, we may be able to issue a refund if you were unable to travel on medical grounds. To obtain a refund, you will need to provide reasonable evidence, such as a letter from your doctor. A max £5 admin fee will be charged and split ticket saving fees deducted from the refund.
