I made a mistake when booking my ticket, for the wrong date and the customer service steam were extremely helpful and easy to deal with.

During the pandemic it can be very difficult to get refunds when things have to be changed due to new guidance that's released. Not only was it easy (and the best price) to buy a train ticket but after having to cancel my trip it was also just as easy to get my refund. Would recommend using this site in the future and will be doing so myself.

Human intervention along with sympathy to a genuine mistake is a rare commodity in this computerised controlled age. So it came as a very pleasant surprise when my appeal for reconsidering a train tick purchase without my Railcard was considered and upon providing proof of my situation a human being responded with with a refund for the balance amount of difference between a full ticket and Railcard ticket purchase. I'm grateful and received that dilemmas can be sorted by the empathy and common sense of others.

Owing to a change of circumstances, I had to cancel my journey and wanted a refund of the train tickets. I looked on the website and it appeared that I was not eligible for an online refund. I wasn't sure what to do next so I emailed the refunds team. This was on a Sunday, so I wasn't really expecting a reply that day. However, I had a lovely reply from Alistair on the refunds team explaining that they just needed to see photos of the tickets cut in half. I duly emailed those and had another reply from Alistair to say that he had processed the refund and that I should receive it within a few days. It is now Tuesday and I have just had the money refunded to my card. Absolutely first class customer service. Other companies could learn a thing or two.

I needed a refund on tickets l could not use due to lockdown, a lady in customer service called Hope was really supportive during a very difficult time for me and went above and beyond to help me which was greatly appreciated.
A ticket didn't arrive, the moment I queried I got a full refund and apologies. Great customer service, even when something didn't work.
I had a train booked since last month and because of covid I had to cancel it. The refund procedure it was so simple and straight forward. Thank you so much for the excellent service.
