At redspottedhanky.com, we believe in honesty and trust, and we are committed to our customers. We'll give you something back We realise that travel is done for a reason - not many people in the world use trains, planes and automobiles just for the sake of travelling, and we understand these are all means to an end. We believe that we stand alongside many people when we say the mechanism by which travel is sold online is not focused enough on the needs of today's travellers. There is too much focus on the ‘hardware’, whether it is a train, plane or automobile, and not enough focus on the software ‘experience’, customer service or inspiration. At redspottedhanky.com, we believe we have a solution to fix this. We know any lasting solution will require long term commitment, and we're willing to give this to our customers. Let’s be honest, travel is not cheap, and too many businesses seem to forget that there are real people like you, who may not feel like they're getting good value for money. We won't charge you a booking fee Unlike other train companies, we draw the line at booking fees. We strongly feel that you already paying for your ticket, so we're not going to double charge you.

We'll make it easier to purchase travel tickets Right now, even if you're able to find the tickets for the trip that you want to make, it's really not all that easy to buy them. Unmanned stations, poor websites, bad customer service, excessive fees and deceptive marketing all lead to customer problems.

Happy after ticket refund

I recently bought a ticket via their site but put in the incorrect date to travel. I spoke with a customer representative who helped me get a refund via their refund department. It all happened really fast and I got my full refund back, which is amazing.

Well done Susan

After a load of technical difficulties, probably caused by myself, a lovely lady sorted all my problems and arranged in an hour the refund I had been trying to get for weeks. Thank you Susan.

Phone call sorted out confusion.

I needed a refund (Coronavirus) and read conflicting info on the web site. Fortunately, a quick phone call to Richard sorted out the problem, and my refund was authorised the same morning. Thank you RSH.

Great customer service from Red Spotted Hanky in a horrible time!

I’ve had a great experience with Red Spotted Hanky, I booked train tickets to London at the start of the year and it turned out to be the first weekend that lockdown was enforced in the UK. RSH have been very responsive to my queries around my tickets and helped me initially move the date and have now facilitated a refund for me! They’ve gone above and beyond and I’m really grateful to them! As soon as we can, I’ll rebook this trip through RSH! Special thanks to Susan (Team Manager)
