Sometimes it is hard to schedule in a meal between all of our other to-do action items. If you must eat on-the-go, choose menu options that are both easy to eat while in motion AND have minimal olfactory issues. In other words, no messy-smelly foods on the train, please.
It is no longer possible to buy the full range of tickets on board a train. Like all train companies*, you must buy a ticket before you board, or risk getting a penalty fare. Also, we now have more ticket vending machines at stations, and of course you can buy from one of our friendly faces at the ticket office.
Using a ticket office
We can accept payment by cash, debit card, credit card or National Rail vouchers. We can accept company cheques if you're buying an annual season ticket.10-Trip tickets fares
