Where can I sell a train ticket

I've got an unused return half of a virgin train ticket manchester to Watford junction. Won't be needing it now and it runs out on 8 December.

I thought I would be clever and sell it. I know Ebay won't allow it, so I tried gumtree. Even though there are loads of others listed mine got pulled.

Any ideas where I can sell it?

    you anywhere near a university? if so could try a notice on a union travel board, but probably more hassle than it's worth.

    Problem is I am 200 miles from the starting point of the ticket.

    There is a reason for that. It is not transferable. Good luck trying to offload it - but chances are nobody will want it!

    I think you can get a refund - but as there's a £10 admin fee it won't amount to much if anything.

    If I can't sell it, am I allowed to give it away?

    Technically not - but if you can find a buyer for cash or someone to give it to the chances of being found out are next to zero. It's 'not transferable', not specifically 'not to be resold'
