Ticket Wallets

Trains06 · 8th August 2012, 22:36

Hi All,

Just wondering which TOCs print their own ticket wallets? Have a few National Rail ones lying around but would much rather have some TOC branded ones if possible? Does anyone know where any ex-TOC ones might be available aswell? If anyones got a few from TOCs that aren't nearby me then and are willing to part I'd happily drop a couple of quid their way for P&P!

Cheers!

XC give them out sometimes and I've seen red VT ones.

SWT have their "Do you know there's a ticket office in your own home?" promoting their own site.

The last one I bought was a Get Ahead of the Games one for £1.49 on eBay, looking for some ex-TOC ones as well but not wanting to pay the high prices they go for online!

I have two mint 'Wales and West' ones if anyone's interested. Not looking to profit myself, but a suitable donation to charity....

If interested then email bignosemac@hotmail.com. I'll reply with further info.

(Hope this post doesn't fall foul of any forum rules....)

Best bet would probably be to write a nice letter to XC customer services asking if they'd be willing to send one out to you (I'd put in a stamped return envelope as well).

I have a London Midland wallet which I have my school ticket and photocard in it.

TPE definitely do their own wallets, which seem to be widely distributed in the north.

Where is nearby to you?

SWT have/had three varieties, current one is a red plastic one with three sections, unlike Oyster card holders which have two sections. Send me a PM if interested.

I have a Thames Trains ticket wallet I got when I renewed my railcard a few years back.

To encourage the continued decline in usage of their own ticket offices, given more good reason to close them.

-Network South East

-London Midland
-3 x National Rail (Northern have always issued these to me)
-LU IKEA
-LU Santander
-2 x LU Black ("please reuse your card")
-MyTrainTicket.co.uk
-GVB (Amsterdam Area PTE) Chipkaart holder

I have managed to get a couple of varieties now;
- NR Blue
- Virgin Trains
- CrossCountry
- SWT 'Did you know there's a ticket office'
- SWT 'Easy ways to buy your ticket' (both SWT courtesy of The Colonel)
- London Midland (central LM logo, lots of pages inside, not one of the three slot holders)
- Northern (leather, similar design to London Midland)
- First Scotrail

Is there any "obvious" ones I'm missing?
