Booked on Cumbrian Mountain Express but no ticket

[lewisf]

Not sure if anyone can help here or has any experience.

I'm booked to go on the Cumbrian Mountain Express tomorrow with a friend and the booking is in his name and he has the ticket. Unfortunately he may not be able to make it and I have no way of getting the ticket from him. Has anyone been in this situation before with a railtour company and would they let me on the train if I had some other proof of the booking like a confirmation email or booking reference.

I've emailed 'The Railway Touring Company' who is running the tour but I'm not too sure if I'll get a response at this time of evening.

You should be able to sort it out with the stewards on the day, although if you knew your seat number it would help a lot as you can be in the right coach.

I've been on a few trips where the tickets were sent out late, but (assuming you don't find someone else sat in your seat pretending to be you!) you should have no problems, especially if the booking was made in joint names and you have some ID.

As long as you know where you're sat I wouldn't expect a problem.

Well, I was let on with no problem and had a really good time. Now, what tour should I go on next
