Tartan_Glasto Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Just got on my train from home to Glasgow and realised I forgot to bring all my other train tickets! Thats my tickets from Glasgow to London today and my Bristol to Glasgow tickets for Monday. Checked the T&Cs and doesn't look like they reissue tickets. I could cry. An expense I could do without Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartan_Glasto Posted June 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Yeah I have all that but from reading online I don't think they re-print them for you. I'll give it a go, I can be pretty adorable, but I'm not hopeful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll maybe see if that's an option once I speak nicely to the people at the train station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosssss224 Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Had this happen and sadly theres nothing they can do but I've also found the folk behind the desk have the potential to be a lot more flexibility so bat those eye lids!

Jsmooth Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 I've manged to travel from Edinburgh to Hereford without them checking my tickets, so good luck hopefully you'll get a long way. if you get far enough just make sure you don't mention you've forgotten the others they'll charge you from there just ask for from the last station.

I did the same thing with my coach tickets in 2015 and it worked out all right for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan_Glasto Posted June 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Thanks for the good wishes guys! I should know the outcome in about 15mins when I get to Glasgow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popcornmaster Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 That's unlucky. Hope you pull it off without having to fork out for another train ticket. Must admit I read the title and - in this climate - thought of something far worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
congyiszizu Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 I'm sure you can get a refund on unused tickets. I did it last year for my parents ( doesnt include advance tickets though) http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/ticket_types/72098.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubby used to commute from ledbury to Oxford and could never buy a ticket as the machine was always out of service .....never paid on any trip bar once... always wondered why so many went from that station instead of Hereford !!

BagpussSeesAllThings Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 It's amazing how backwards trains still are when everything is mobile and contactless nowadays you should be able to just show your phone. Hope you get there with no hitches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan_Glasto Posted June 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Well I am on the London train! With a lighter wallet (well shoved it on the credit card) I felt like crying when I first realised but at least it was just a train ticket I forgot and not the Glasto ticket! I'm on my way!

I'll see if I can get in contact with someone to get into my house as I didn't buy the return travel in case I can sort it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy101 Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Try not to let it impact on your weekend. It's happened, there's not a lot you can do about it until next week (bar get the return tickets sent down) so try not to stress about what isn't in your control. Have a great festival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diva Sam Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 If you want. You can get someone to send your Bristol Train tickets to my house and you can pick them up from there if that helps? (I live in Bristol and will be back at around 11.30 Monday morning) Worst case I would say is check Skyscanner for a cheap flight from Bristol to Glasgow.
