It's the first 5 digits of the long sequence of numbers. The long sequence effectively combines the ticket number together with information about the device or machine that printed your ticket.
I'd be inclined to include everything apart from the last two items, as they just indicate the print format and version.
Taking 12345-1234-3087-01-06-X01 as an example:
12345 is the ticket number (if the ticket had any reservations printed on it there may be a second ticket number printed next to it)
1234 is the ticket machine identifier (not unique on its own)
3087 is the issuing location (in this case London Paddington Ticket Office)
01 is the window number
06 tells you it's using a version 06.xx print format
X01 is the specific print format, in this case an Anytime Single
interestingly enough the online form only allows you to input 8 characters in the long number box anymore and you are prevented from clicking the submit bottom. So I just inputted the 8 numbers immediately after the ticket number and did not include the dash's (-).
It is the Southern online refund form.
It is the Southern online refund form.
The same form that has four very clear examples of what the long number they are referring to is?
Ah I chose the "station" purchase location. I assume you chose online? In my experience, online purchase details are usually automatically populated when you go to refund them.
