Anytime Train Tickets

Question 1

Step 3: Agree to import tickets in "My Tickets"

Question 3

Seat Reservations

󱒃

Answer

Seat reservations on UK trains allow passengers to secure a specific seat for their journey, ensuring comfort and peace of mind. While not always mandatory, they are recommended during peak times or for long-distance travel to guarantee a seat. Reservations can typically be made at the time of ticket purchase.

Question 4

When can I use an Anytime Return train ticket?

󱒃

Answer

For Anytime Return tickets, the outward journey must be completed within 5 days, including until 04:29 on the morning following the last valid day. The return trip must be taken within one calendar month, also including until 04:29 on the morning after the final valid day.

Question 5

When is an Anytime Day Single ticket valid for?

󱒃

Answer

An Anytime Day Single ticket is valid for a single journey on the specified date of travel. It allows you to travel at any time during the day, providing flexibility in choosing your departure time. Unlike other ticket types that may have restrictions during peak hours, an Anytime Day Single ticket allows travel during both peak and off-peak hours. However, this ticket is only valid for a single journey and cannot be used for a return trip.

Question 6

What is an Anytime Day Single train ticket?

󱒃

Answer

An Anytime Day Single train ticket can only be used on the specified date. This ticket type allows you to make a single journey at any time on the day the ticket is booked for. This gives you the flexibility to travel at any time on your selected day.

Question 7

Is an Anytime ticket the same as an Off-peak ticket?

󱒃

Answer

No, Anytime and Off-Peak tickets are not the same. Anytime tickets allow you to travel at any time during the day, including both peak and off-peak hours, offering more flexibility. Off-Peak tickets are valid for travel during specific non-peak hours when fares are typically lower, making them cheaper than Anytime tickets.

Question 8

Is an Anytime Day Return refundable?

󱒃

Answer

Yes, an Anytime Day Return ticket is refundable. If you decide not to use your ticket for all or part of your intended journey, you can get a refund on TrainPal no more than 28 days after its expiry.

An admin fee may be required. The refund fees vary based on the ticket value, and the administration charge will not exceed £5 per ticket. If the admin fee and/or other deductions exceed the refund amount, no refund will be payable.
