Issue of Tickets

When we or the train operating company or the booking system that you are using have confirmed your booking by email to your registered email address, we will arrange for your tickets to be provided to you. While we endeavour to have tickets delivered in accordance with timescales supplied by our delivery agents; we cannot be responsible for any guaranteed delivery times.
You must ensure that you are in possession of the tickets booked before you board the train. If you cannot produce a valid ticket for the class of accommodation and service that you are using, you will have to pay the appropriate fare on the train and a penalty fare may also be payable.
