I recently bought 2 tickets from a Northern Station and was not given a receipt for them. Is it possible for the ticket office to retrospectively print me a reciept(s)?
Not that I'm aware of. Why do you need a receipt, would the ticket itself not suffice? (Just ask to keep it at the end of your journey).I recently bought 2 tickets from a Northern Station and was not given a receipt for them.

The ticket belongs to the railway and they are well within their rights to not let you keep it.
I know they are in their rights to keep it, but I've only once had any bother at all getting it back. I didn't want it swallowed by the barrier and the guy insisted that I had to put it in. I just explained that I needed it for expenses and he let me through - though he did say to get a receipt in future.The ticket belongs to the railway and they are well within their rights to not let you keep it.
I believe that it would've been possible to get a receipt had you gone back on the day, but not after they've 'cashed up' at the end of the day.To claim the cost back, yes but will have to wait 6 weeks to claim back the considerable sum owed

I disagree, he was right - the ticket is the property of the railway after all. And he didn't make a big song and dance routine of it, the whole exchange lasted 30 seconds tops.What a jobs worth!

Make sure you keep the ticket! Maybe your company will accept a photocopy of the tickets and then you won't need to wait 6 weeks?

That's unfortunate (and surprising seeing as tickets aren't VAT-able). Mine doesn't so I've quite the ticket collection as a result.My employer requires both the original tickets and a receipt!

I keep telling myself it's keeping some clerk in the finance department busy, so helps maintain someone in employment. You'll be pleased to hear they stopped asking for the reservation coupons on the back of the seats a few years ago. That ridiculous requirement made claiming Crewe to Euston journeys very difficult!
I wonder would they pay the £200 fine for removal of said reservation labels were it imposed?
Madness.
