I am travelling from Yorkshire :-)

There are probably enough of us for a mini bus but by the time we had picked everyone up we would be starting at about 5 am.

I booked my train tickets ages ago through Trainline and got a refund this week.

The "train" journey up for the Raith game on Jan 2 was a little tedious so Im making different travel arrangements for the semi final and consequent matches. It means Im giving the St Mirren game a miss this week though.

I have just emailed them for a refund for a trip the other way, did they refund you no bother even though they were advanced purchase?

Yeah. Like I said I booked via trainline. The ticket was supposedly non refundable (printed on the ticket) but I called them and explained that I couldn't make my connections on the return journey due to the viaduct problems and they agreed to refund no problem.

What email address have you used?

[Lancs Harp]

If you have received your tickets in the post you have to return them before you get the refund, which I did straight away. Think my money was refunded within 3 days requesting it. I phoned rather than emailed.

I travelled wi the other mob last wkend with virgin train tckts. Had no issues. Going with the other mob 2moz and bck with them on sund. All for 24 return. Virgin have agreement in place with them and scotrail that pre booked virgin tickets can be used. So u have option to travel to Glasgow and use scotrail to get to Edinburgh.

I always use the Transpennine Manchester airport train on a Friday night 16.12 from Waverley to change at Wigan, Virgin wouldn't accept their tickets for me to travel via York so I had to buy new tickets on the day, cost me £101. Pissed me right off, I do the same journey every month but can't be ersed with the extra time it takes going via York so will drive until trains are back to normal.

Just had a reply, that was quick! Refund application was successful money will be in my account within 3 days.

It's only trains via carlisle. As virgin also run the train via york we can travel on the pre booked virgin train tickets.if it was transpennine tickets we would be stuck nxt sat.not sure if transpennine tickets via carlisle are valid with virgin. Maybe virgin are paying a subsidiary pymnt to transpennine and scotrail.

Does this only apply to tickets purchased before the viaduct incident?

[the pie eater]

Not 100 percent sure.though I would think so as when you buy now u know it's train/bus. What I did find out last sat is that transpennine and virgin had agreement that you could use transp tcks on virgin trains and virgin on transp.you cannie anymore as virgin broke the agreement. I went up on transp last wk and they told anyone who had virgin train tickets they had to get off and wait for a virgin train. Asked the train manager why as the previous wk I travelled on virgin tckts on transp. He advised as above. Got virgin tckts for this wkend refunded on tues and bought transp ones as they run trains to Lockerbie. Only cost £24 return.only £2 more than my virgin pre booked tkts.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

OK, cheers for that.
