Title: Receipts for proof of travel and ticket barriers? Post by: Glovidge on November 27, 2007, 13:19:20 Soon I will be relocating to Hinckley for 18 months and am permitted to claim back a return journey per week. As I am a non-driver I will be attempting to make this journey by train (to Slough) and will need to keep the train ticket as proof of purchase.
Unfortunately I am slightly worried that the ticket barrier machines will swallow my ticket up. Should I just advise the "Resource Protection Assistants" that I need to keep my ticket for proof of purchase/ travel purposes? Title: Re: Receipts for proof of travel and ticket barriers?

Because the receipt just shows the amount. I'm self employed and whenever I have had my expenses queried (most years) the revenue always want to see the to and from stations to make sure they tie up with the location of my clients.
