Title: Changing dates of travel on off peak tickets Post by: Mookiemoo on September 10, 2010, 00:29:10 I have two off peak tickets returning from brum to bristol for sunday however am now having to go to reading ....
The cost was ^15.30 for the tickets and ^10.00 for the weekend first upgrade They are not advance or anything like that. I won't need them sunday but I will make the journey on saturday the 18th. I assume there is a ^10 charge to change however for ^5.30 I can't see the point unless the ^10.00 is still valid or can also be changed Staff at BTM today were not exactly sure.

If it's the return portion of an off-peak return then it's good for a month and you don't need to change anything. Off peak single though is a different matter - that would be a date change and I think you're right, it would set you back GBP 10.00. No idea if you can change the date on a weekend first though!

If you take the ticket back to where you bought it, they should just change it without charge, so long as... 1) It's not an advance ticket 2) the actual journey (origin,destination & route) stay the same 3) you take it back before the original outward date of travel after the date, you can apply for a refund which will cost ^10, again, as long as it's not an advance Title: Re: Changing dates of travel on off peak tickets Post by: Mookiemoo on September 11, 2010, 13:03:11 It's a walk up off peak single for tomorrow from brum to bri. I bought it online so can't take it back to where I got it.
