chickencam Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I am going on a pre booked train journey and can't find my family and friends railcard which is in date until October time. I looked on their site and it said that you had to pay £10. For a replacement and pay full fare until it arrived. Has anyone successfully travelled on pre booked tickets without the railcard?

merlina Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 No, and I know people who've had all kinds of trouble when they tried (although that was mostly re young persons cards) Only person I know who 'got away' with it was a friend who had a photocopy of her card to show Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 My lovely fabulous hubby has found it in an envelope with train tickets from our last train journey on a shelf buried under YD's school folders in our study. He is in very good books now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 If you dont have the railcard, you will have to pay the full fare. Happened to a few students I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Whew, that's a relief . Thank goodness he found it in time . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 My lovely fabulous hubby has found it in an envelope with train tickets from our last train journey on a shelf buried under YD's school folders in our study. He is in very good books now. Now take a scan of it - at least that way you have something if he ever loses it again (obviously it was him that lost it, as he seemed to know where to find it! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 So glad it was found Having had numerous similar situations over the years we now have a specific drawer in the dresser for 'paperwork' of this nature as we have learned the hard way! There are so many bits of paper that you need to hang onto these days its a minefield! Good advice about keeping copies/making scans too!

We have a whole filing cabinet, but both this and an MOT certificate have slipped through the net this week, OH found the MOT too, so I agree with Cinnamon he must have lost them in the first place I also lost a camera at a family wedding over Christmas! he found that too! via his cousin, so obviously he hid that too.

Egluntyne Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I once witness someone being taken of a train by the transport police because they didn't have their rail card with them and refused to pay the difference when spoken to by the ticket inspector.
