I want to buy two rail tickets from London to Thornaby for two friends who will be visiting England from the USA. However I won't be with them when they make the journey and so I'm trying to figure out the best way of buying the tickets for them.
They're travelling on 14 March so there isn't time to have the tickets sent to them by post. If I leave them to collect the tickets from Kings Cross the TVM may ask for the card that the tickets were bough with which they won't have if its my card. One option is to use East Coast's Print@Home facility for the London to Darlington leg as I understand from another thread that East Coast don't ask for the customer travelling to have the relevant payment card with them but I wanted to be sure first that there weren't any technical limitations such that the tickets can only be printed out from within the UK.
Does anyone know if Print@Home can be use from overseas? Also does anyone have any other suggestions for the way forward?
