    Changing an Advance Cross Country Ticket

    Thanks for that Joe & Richard - I can see why the Rail Companies don't allow it but perhaps a big warning should come up when people print their own - that's assuming that they don't already do that and my son just wasn't aware

    Railcards - Which one to get

    Sorry if this question sounds a bit simple!! I have reached the big 60 and am thinking of a Railcard The obvious one is the Senior Railcard but would I get the discounted ticket price for my wife on this - she's 58 If the answer is no, I assume I would have to go for the Two Together...
