Thanks all - I did end up abandoning in the end and have just had a reply from Raileasy confirming my refund after using the link Adam gave.

Avanti still seem to be saying ticket acceptance is after 1200 on their website, yet some posts earlier suggested they've lifted this restriction? https://www.avantiwestcoast.co.uk/timetables/check-for-disruptions/planned-engineering-works/storm-ciara

Ah, cheers Adam. No, they're e-tickets.

Thanks :-)

Hi All, I am due to travel tomorrow, however, if I need to abandon my rail journey and make an alternative way there how do I go about claiming a refund on my tickets? They are split tickets via Trainsplit, all the TOCs along the journey have said a fee free refund can be obtained due to the...

It was on Trainsplit that I noticed it - I'm not too worried as I'm sure I'll be able to find a seat, I was just a bit surprised that a certain type of fare would prevent you reserving a seat on a train that you otherwise could.

I've noticed something a bit odd when booking tickets for an upcoming trip, if I get an Anytime Short Distance Return for the Crewe -> Wigan leg I am unable to reserve seats on the outgoing or returning trains, however, if I choose a different ticket type eg. two Off-Peak Singles for the same...

My work use Evolvi and they seem to use the code 'VE'.

If you look at the Arriva MK social media pages on Twitter and Facebook, for the last few months (at least) some complaints have been responded to with the depot is experiencing 'operational issues'. Does anyone here know what those 'operational issues' actually are?
