Never. I often carry my iPad with me on trips as I use it for Netflix/Prime etc., so I have both devices with my railcard on, and in the year and half of having my railcard on there I’ve never had problems. It’s the one thing I’d advocate Thetrainline for. Having said that, I’m going to buy...

Beverley?
