    Advances with a railcard not yet bought

    I've bought tickets from a station in advance before. Did the railcard at the same and asked for it to start on the day of the tickets (was about 4 weeks before travel). No issues at all.

    Mods' note: split from Delay Repay using split tickets Does anyone know if VT West are similar in this scenario? I'm awaiting to hear back from them about a 3 leg journey where I was delayed with them on the last leg. I'm expecting to have to fight it out with them...
