What do we provide?
Our Service is impartial. We provide a range of products and travel information without recommendation and for your personal use only. You choose which ticket or product is the best for your needs. Certain ticket types are not sold by us and it may be possible to obtain different products and prices from the Train Companies’ own ticket offices.
Do we charge for the Service?
In certain circumstances, we may make charges in addition to your ticket price. These will be clearly identified. Any taxes or other fees incurred by your ticket purchase will be your responsibility.
Your journey details
At the time your ticket is issued, we will rely on any information provided through our website by you. This means that your destination, departure and arrival times, connections and any required personal or financial information must be correct and complete. We will not be liable for any compensation, expenses, claim or other loss arising from inaccurate or incomplete information provided by you.
Please note that the information on our website including train and journey times, routes, ticket types, prices and connections is provided by third parties. We cannot therefore guarantee that such information is correct.
You are responsible for verifying such information with the Train Companies prior to departure and checking that you are able to complete your journey. This includes checking with the Train Company for disruption due to bad weather, strikes, engineering works or other reasons.
Please also note that we cannot provide accurate transit times for travel in urban networks, for example London Underground or Metro services. These systems are operated by independent train operators. You must check for these details especially transit for early or late trains, with those operators.
It is important that you have a valid ticket for your journey without which you may be unable to travel or be obliged to pay the fare plus a penalty. If the ticket is not genuine or is being used in breach of the terms and conditions of the Train Companies, the NRCoT or our terms and conditions, your ticket may not be accepted. This means that you must have any appropriate railcard used in connection with the ticket or qualify to benefit from any reduced prices, discounts or promotions.
Amendments, cancellations and refunds
Depending on the ticket you have purchased, you may be able to amend the dates of travel or other aspects of the ticket. You will be advised at the point of purchase of the terms and conditions relating to the particular ticket you are about to purchase and these will include information on whether, and under what circumstances, you can amend, refund or cancel your ticket. These terms and conditions are decided by the train operating companies providing the fares. It is your responsibility to satisfy yourself that the ticket you are about to purchase meets your needs.
Where you decide to make an amendment or refund which is possible under the terms and conditions of the ticket that you have purchased, we will charge an administration fee of up to £5 per ticket. Please note that, where a refund is made, it will only be for the rail ticket part of the payment, and not for any booking fee, delivery fee or card payment fee.
If you wish to apply for a refund, please log-in to your account and use the request refund link in the My Bookings area. Note that bookings involving Advance tickets are non-refundable, and this is made clear during the purchase process.
How will I receive my ticket?
At the time of your purchase online, you will choose how to receive your ticket. This is your choice and you accept responsibility for the delivery details and its fulfilment unless varied below:
1. Collection from a self-service ticket machine or ticket office window at a station
Certain stations have self-service ticket machines from which you can collect your ticket(s). If you choose this method of delivery, you must allow sufficient time at the station to collect the ticket. To collect your ticket(s) you must have both the Collection Reference (an eight digit alphanumeric code that is displayed on your confirmation email) and the same debit / credit card that you used to make the purchase with. If the ticket machine is not working or is not accessible (for example, it is in a locked off part of the station), or there is any other reason why you cannot obtain your ticket from the machine then you should contact the station staff in the first instance. If station staff are not available, or cannot help, then please contact us on our customer service helpline. We will do our best to assist but will not be able to issue you with replacement tickets. You have the responsibility to ensure that you have a valid ticket for your journey.
Your tickets will be ready for collection usually within a few minutes, but up to two hours after you complete your purchase. Please allow for this time.
2. E-Tickets, delivered to your email address
For some journeys we offer the option to have your tickets sent as electronic barcoded E-Tickets, which we will email to you.
You are responsible to ensure that for any booking that is for more than one person, all those travelling on that booking, travel together at all times or have been given a copy of their ticket.
If you choose to display the ticket on your mobile, you must ensure that you have your mobile with you at all times on your journey and that it is charged and is able to display the ticket PDF clearly as required by the Train Company, on request. You agree to provide your mobile for inspection if required by the Train Company staff.
Please take notice of any additional restrictions or conditions relating to this method of delivery and the tickets available through it.
You will be liable for any charges made by your network / mobile operator.
You may also choose to print the ticket on clean white A4 paper. If you do so, you must carry it with you at all times during your journey. You are responsible to ensure that for any booking that is for more than one person, all those travelling on that booking, travel together at all times or are given the relevant pages that correspond to their tickets in the booking. You must present the ticket(s) when asked to do so by Train Operating Company staff.
You must not transfer the ticket to another person who is not in your travelling party. You must not attempt to use the barcoded E-Ticket if you have requested and received a refund, as the tickets will have been cancelled.
Please take notice of any additional restrictions or conditions relating to this method of delivery and the tickets available through it.
You will be liable for any costs incurred in printing the ticket if you choose to do so.
What if something goes wrong with the Service?
This clause does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer.
We make every effort to supply the Service using reasonable care and skill but we are not liable for the provision of information used in the Service that is provided by third parties. Such information can be subject to change.
We shall have no liability in respect of your negligence or failure to follow our instructions (oral or in writing), misuse, alteration or abuse of the Service.
Any loss or damage you suffer on your journey is governed by the NRCoT and the relevant Train Companies’ terms and conditions. You should contact them in the event of a problem.
We shall not be liable to you by reason of any delay in performing, or any failure to perform, any of our obligations in relation to the Service, if the delay or failure was due to any cause beyond our reasonable control. If we fail to deliver your ticket in sufficient time before your departure and such failure was within our control or we have been negligent, then you should contact us. Any reimbursement will be limited to the cost of the replacement ticket.
As far as the law allows, we will not be liable for any damages resulting from loss of profits, business data, goodwill, contracts, revenues or other costs or losses arising out of or resulting your use of the Service. All warranties, statements and representations relating to the information, products and services provided as part of the Service are excluded as far as the law allows.
Our liability to you for death or injury resulting from our negligence is not limited.
What are my responsibilities?
You confirm that the decision on which ticket or product to purchase is wholly yours and that you will be responsible for deciding the delivery method. You will also check that it is suitable for your needs and that you have the ability to receive the Service and pay for it. You agree to pay any additional charges levied by a network provider, mobile operator or similar service provider that you may incur.
You also agree that you are using the Service for your own personal use or on behalf of a person for whom you are legally authorised to act. By using the Service, you warrant that you are legally entitled to use the debit/credit card and provide the personal details and that you will be bound to pay the price for the Service.
Terms you should note
We shall provide the Service subject to these Terms and Conditions but we may subcontract any part of the Service. All the terms of the agreement between us are contained in these Terms and Conditions unless varied and confirmed by us in writing. These Terms and Conditions may change from time to time but such changes will not affect a prior purchase.
We may amend any error provided that the correction does not materially affect the Service. If you need to contact us, please do so at the address given below. We will contact you at the address given at the time of the purchase.
Certain parts of the Service or other products you may buy are provided by a third party. We have no control over their terms and conditions and you should therefore satisfy yourself that you wish to be bound by their terms and conditions before entering into an agreement with that third party.
If we choose not to take action against you for a breach of these Terms and Conditions, that will not be considered as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision.
If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is held by any competent authority to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, the validity of the other provisions and the remainder of the provision in question shall not be affected.
These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by the laws of England and you agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
If you pay for the Service using a non-UK credit or debit card, then that purchase will be subject to the exchange rate and you will be responsible for any effect that may have on the ticket or your purchase.
Neither you nor we intend any third party to be able to enforce any of these terms pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.
