The ticket collection options available to you will depend on your route and the stations you are travelling to and from, but the most common are:

E-Tickets

  • Delivered electronically to your email

  • Download the QR Code to your mobile wallet and use it to scan through the barriers.

Heads Up! - Not available on all routes, e.g. when using multiple train providers

Ticket on Departure

  • Collect a paper ticket at any UK station with a ticket machine or ticket office.

  • Available for all routes

  • To collect, insert any payment card (doesn't need to be the original payment card used for the transaction) into the ticket machine - it WILL NOT be charged, it is purely for ID purposes and the booking reference from your confirmation to print.

For more information on booking your trains have a look at your Rail Booking Guide!
