Rail Warrant Accounts

The Rail Warrant Account provides a service for businesses and organisations allowing access to rail travel anywhere on the National Rail network.

The account is designed for convenience allowing your organisation to purchase tickets for clients, staff etc without having to write out cheques, use cash or ask the travellers themselves to pay and then claim back the cost.

The Rail Warrant Account allows travel by rail at short notice and also allows the account holder a credit period of approximately four to six weeks from when a ticket is purchased to payment being made.
