I booked xc, just trying to print my tickets, the link "Click here to download your e-ticket " just takes me to the make a booking page!
\
any ideas?

and yes I used the xc website precisely so I could have them printed off and because of the 10% discount codes

Eventually managed to navigate to it and printed it - 150 pages of blank paper later it stopped

The ticket was page 1 but I guess the XC^▸ (Cross Country Trains (franchise)) system doesnt like safari

You should have got an Email with the direct link to the e-ticket. (I did when booking with virmin, yes it was cheaper to get an advance ticket then it was to use 75% priv).

Whatever you do, dont even think of getting on without that nice piece of paper known as your ticket.

Alternate number is 0121 200 6450. Free for most people (e.g. BT) in the evening or at the weekend.

NEVER phone a premium line without consulting this website - often a free 0800 number alternative is listed!

Thanks for that - I will be phoning when they open in the morning to make a complaint.

I work in IT, I know my mac, but it still took me over 1.5 hours (and half a ream of paper) to get the bloody ticket

I'm going to ask them advice on how to get the return ticket printed without wasting the other half ream.

The print registers as only 1 page but in reality was over 150 (I know this because my tray holds 150 and it ran out even though was fully stocked) - so you don't even get the choice of page 1 to 1 and because the machine thinks its printing the one page you cant stop it!

Can't you pick it up at a machine/ticket office?

Or have it mailed? I thought print outs were not valid on trains...

PS: You're welcome - add it to your bookmarks, saved me ^s when on the phone moaning to the bank/BT, etc...

no - xc just like WS have a print your own ticket option
