    "Please join the train now..."

    TOC's that hand out their own Card Holders (2019)

    I presume the GWR leather one came from the same place as mine - https://www.gwrsouvenirs.co.uk: they sell all sorts of other GWR merchandise there too

    TOC's that hand out their own Card Holders (2019)

    Any with a ticket office run by the operator. For example, you can't get a Northern wallet at Newcastle, because the station Ticket Office is run by LNER.

    TOC's that hand out their own Card Holders (2019)

    Northern and ScotRail hand out own designs at their stations. I believe TPE ones exist also.

    Trivia: Trains that do not call at the county town/city but call at other stationsin the same county
