In this world of E tickets etc. does anyone know if it is possible for me to buy a ticket and send it electronically to a relative in Wolverhampton for a Virgin train journey to Euston where I'll meet her next week?
One way that might work is to book it online and pay using Paypal, they will then be able to collect using the reference and any card. PayPal sales have to be "any card" as PayPal won't communicate the card number to the merchant.
Alternatively, book an e-ticket if offered (it MUST be an e-ticket, not an m-ticket) and forward them the PDF.
So a Paypal booking in my name can be picked up by her using her credit card and my reference?
Do you know which companies offer e tickets rather than m-tickets please?
Usually fine to show on a phone.Thanks - can it be shown on a phone or does it need to be printed?
