_party_ hello
i recently went by rail to scotland , and because the train was delayed ( it took 3 hours longer than it should) i was given a brochure called delay repay.
anyway, basically i filled it in, and the rail company gave me my fare back.
this was really nice of them, but i wont be using the railway again, i find it too hard, and they wouldnt swap the railway vouchers for actual money.
I now dont know what to do with them. am i allowed to resell them or do you think that is illegal? it seems a shame not to use them, but the whole rail thing is too difficult i think.
any suggestions gratefully received

You must know someone who uses the train (or eg has someone away at uni). Do a deal with them to take them off you at a reasonable discount. That way everyone will be happy, and no need to line ebay's pockets.0

Hey,
You can sell them on eBay, no worries. Start them off at 1p and describe them exactly as they are. It's the equivilant of just selling on tickets that you purchased by mistake, which you're allowed to do.0
