Anyone want an Abellio Corporate Travel ticket wallet? Brand new, issued with my NR season ticket. I can upload a photo if anyone wants.

Is it one of the plastic credit card sized ones? If so, yes please, I go through them about 1 every 6 months, only got two left.
Yeah, it is a credit card size one. It looks like this... Let me know if you'd like it, free to a good home. I thought I'd offer it here rather than just bin it.
I was about to throw about 15 tickets that were lying around into the recycling today. Shall I stick them aside for you?
I've done a couple of Stratchclyde day tickets recently, during which I've been issued with a ticket just to get me through the barrier, would these be any use? (for future reference, I've binned the ones I had).
I'm sure I have a load of blank tickets from the 80s, rescued from a skip. They're in my folks' loft (unless they've binned them). Would these be worth anything?
Yes of course thats great, especially the 80's ones! Thanks so much! I will PM you further when I get home, school PC's dont seem to like the PM feature (It turns up an error 404 page) :/
No worries. PM me your address.
The 80s ones are in the loft at my parents' house. I think. Don't hold your breath on them.
Meanwhile, I reckon the usual tickets for me (North West based) would not be much use for you, but I'll happily stick them aside and send them to you. If you could find a decent charity box to put the postage costs into, job's a good 'un.
I'll probably save some up unto the back of September so there'll be a good amount.
Hi mate I will PM you later when I have finished my dinner
On another note, do stations hold quantities of used rail tickets by any chance? I remember seeing a large pile of used tickets at the info desk at St Pancras once and wondered do all stations do that. If so, are they able to give them away for free if I offer a polite request? Seeing as they will just get thrown out/recycled anyway. Also, what happens to tickets kept by the barriers at station with them installed? I emailed ATW about this and they told me simply they don't give them out and they are unable to. What about if I went to Chester (Nearest gated station) and asked the station manager politely? Is he/she in such a position that allows this, or are they not allowed under rules to open the ticket barriers?
CHeers!

Do I recall a member somewhere on here who collects HST window labels? I don't think that was you though Alex?!
I would imagine most staff are likely to be a little wary of handing over a big stack of tix, even used ones, as they might be seen by a manager and accused of all sorts! The railway is always paranoid about ticket fraud, and moreso nowadays as we have organised gangs (allegedly) making a fortune out of selling fakes. Having said that, there's no harm in asking! Be particularly careful about trying to obtain blanks though.

I think TempleMeads does.
Hi I have limited internet access but I will try and reply to you all ASAP.
Please also note I am now collecting TOC branded items from all TOC's and past TOC'S. Things like ticket wallets, antimacassar's (headrest covers usually found in FC) , and other items with TOC branding on it. I also collect HST window labels.
