Advance Tickets

• Advance tickets are refundable if the service you are booked to travel on is delayed or cancelled, and you choose not to travel. There is no admin fee for these refunds.

• Advance tickets are not refundable if you choose not to travel for another reason but can be changed to travel at another time, or on another day.

Changing Advance Tickets

Changes to time or date of travel must be arranged before departure of the first reserved train printed on the ticket, after which the ticket has no value and a new one must be purchased.

If there are still other Advance fares available, you can change it to another Advance fare. You will be charged an admin fee of £10 per ticket. If there are no Advance fares available, you can upgrade the ticket to the most appropriate ticket for the journey you now want to make. You will have to pay any difference in fare and an admin fee of £10 per ticket.

Please note that changes to 'Advance' fares cannot be made on-board the train. If you board a train without a ticket and reservation for that service, a new ticket must be purchased.
