How to buy tickets

Having now searched for timetables, from the earlier How to plan your journey page you now need to decide when, where, and how to buy your tickets

 

Local railway station
Passenger Train Company TeleSales

Online booking

 

If you have the time and prefer a more personal touch, then using your local railway station is for you

However, you may not always be given the best prices (even if you did find them earlier!)

Tickets are then issued to you directly

 

You can also book train tickets by TeleSales
Contacting your local Passenger Train Company is a good place to start, but as above you may not always be given the best prices

 

Online booking allows you to perform both tasks in one place, either from home, work, or on the move; searching for suitable journeys and buying tickets

 

Using TeleSales and Online booking means the tickets will not be issued to you directly

If you are starting your journey from a larger station then you can arrange to collect them from the station (check opening times) or a Fast Ticket machine (if there is one)
For a small premium tickets can normally be sent out by postal method for Next business Day delivery
For all other types, normal postal method is usually sufficient

 

If you do use the option of using a Fast Ticket machine, you MUST take the same payment card with you to receive the tickets
