Hi all,
Have sent a request to XC Customer Service but was wandering if anybody here had any real world experience with what I've been booked to do.
Yesterday, I booked tickets for Taunton to York with XC via their own website - taking up their offer for Weekend First Upgrade on the return portion of the journey. The tickets were Off Peak Anytime Return, discounted with my 16-25 Railcard. I add that the upgrade option was given to me after all details had been collected (railcard, etc.). However, then going onto the Weekend First page of XC's site I find this quote: "Please note that Child and Railcard discounts do not apply." (source)
So, has anyone done this before (get a Weekend First on a discounted ticket), or does it merely apply to the fact that I can't discount the £15.00 upgrade fee with my railcard (which I wasn't hoping, nor expecting, to be able to do).
Many thanks
