Train Ticket Bookings.
 
So, this is going to be another one of those stupid questions from the one and only, me.

I've had some train tickets booked for me, and I just got the email saying they are booked, the code etc etc.

I don't travel until Friday but can I pick the tickets up before then or does it have to be on the day of travel? I don't know about this stuff, I never pre-book tickets.

I never book tickets. But I'm pretty sure you can pick them up before travelling if you have the code. Although I think you need to have the card that you booked it with. Which I'm guessing you don't have access to because someone booked them for you.

Had this issue a couple of months ago and I had to call the ticket people because the person we booked the ticket for obviously didn't have the card.

Ohhh...That will be a issue haha! I'm going to the train station tomorrow, i'll ask someone these.

Cacoethes 11-10-2013 02:56 PM

Best to get it sorted early!

Had to race against time when we did it!

FabulousMike 11-10-2013 02:57 PM

That's what I was thinking, in case anything does go wrong I want it to go wrong early haha.

I don't like pre-booking, it scares me and makes me paranoid.

Cacoethes 11-10-2013 03:03 PM

I never pre book.

I like to live life on the edge ;p

God, how wild are we?! Watch out wildness, Becky and I are about.

If you are doing self collect from the station you need the card it waa booked with but you can do it before you travel bit you do need the debit/credit card it was booked with

FabulousMike 11-10-2013 03:30 PM

Oh that is a problem, I don't have the card it was booked with...I'll ask tomorrow at the station and see what they say.

Cacoethes 11-10-2013 03:47 PM

We're so hardcore! :p

You can get around it, just have to speak to the right people.

FabulousMike 11-10-2013 04:11 PM

And that would be the dude in the station haha

Cacoethes 11-10-2013 04:18 PM

Ah! Not always!

FabulousMike 11-10-2013 04:36 PM

I can see this getting complicated. I'll just see what happens tomorrow.

Cacoethes 11-10-2013 05:02 PM

Good luck!
If all else fails, flash cleavage and they are more likely to help ;p

Maybe it doesn't work if you're a guy though :p

FabulousMike 11-10-2013 05:07 PM

Pfft, i'll get my moobs out! Bitches love moobs.

Cacoethes 11-10-2013 05:15 PM

I'm sure they do...... >.>

Also though booking in advance by first class post can save you money

1x 16-25 railcard
1x nus card

A return to london for £17
Your looking at least £10 more on day.

FabulousMike 11-10-2013 06:36 PM

I never travel by first class. and to be honest, i've looked into this, even if I booked months in advance I wouldn't get it any cheaper, well I didn't look for this trip but others I have.

ChocolateMarvel 11-10-2013 07:21 PM

If someone else is booking for you in advance it may be better to get the tickets posted you.... I will be interested to see how you get on tomorrow asking at the station as I was told I had to have the payment card :/

FabulousMike 11-10-2013 07:27 PM

I wouldn't even know how to get them posted to me, nothing is in my name! haha. I was just forwarded the email today with the collection ref etc on it. I'll make sure I report back tomorrow to tell how I get on! Hahah.
