I was given a blue National Rail one at the ticket office at Inverness last month. I'm feeling left out!
Asked if ScotRail do ticket wallets at Glasgow Queen Street a few years back on my first trip North of the border.
"Aye pal, how many are ye wantin'?" Was the reply and I was given plenty! Other TOCs have said they'd give me one when I renewed my railcard/season ticket, so it seems to depend who you speak to!
When did you get that?
Where did you get it from?
I might pop into Leeds station to see if I can get a Northern or plain one
Which would you say has the best design?
My TPE ones only seem to last about 3 months before tearing on the hinged bits. I might pop into Leeds station to see if I can get a Northern or plain one
I've found that SouthEastern is the most durable but I meant in lookswhich ever one lasts longer than 5 minutes!
Get them while you still can. my Two Together railcard is just in an app on my phone (only ever been asked to call it up and show it once), the days of paper railcards and passes are numbered, as more people switch to the app-based railcards then the less call the rail operators will have to produce plastic wallets. Not to mention the pressure to eliminate plastic these days as well.
Most tocs dont really check in all areas like that. E.g. at gwr ticket barriers if your smartcard denies access because its expired just show them and they'll give you BODTo be fair, my three section TPE one has my photocard (not actually needed any more but handy to keep there just in case I need it), my TPE Smartcard and the bottom section contains the paper receipt for the ticket on the smartcard - because Northern staff don't appear to be able (or willing) to scan them. Invariably just waving a photocard and smartcard at them is good enough - the card may well have no valid ticket on it but if they don't seem bothered.

I don't know anything about that route, never even seen a TPE in real lifeThat's fair enough if there were ticket barriers - but only one (out of eight) stations on this route does. Makes you wonder why they bother checking at all. To be fair, TPE don't check on the busy services, but only because there's too many people standing to get through

Ah but we mean ones issued by a TOCThese definitely do…

Both my wife and I use these for our West Yorks MCards, and my wife's only complaint is that I couldn't get a purple one at the time of ordering.

GWR hand out normal National Rail blue ones
Ah ok, I mostly use them for debit cards and stuff, very rarely tickets haha. Could you send photos of the ones you mentioned? I didn't know that those tocs did them
Ah okay, haven't seen them beforeHere are photos of two of the GWR ones.
The Green one was given out as a promotional thing. The "Still Got A Paper Ticket?" ones from the ticket office.
