    I don't think there is much anyone can do with so little information.

    What error?
    Travelling from where to where?
    Dates?
    Times?

    Have you reported the problem to Southern Railway?

    When I tried the site wouldn't load. I suspect it may have been something to do with uni earlier.

    But, since being home I've managed to book my tickets for this week for a fiver (home to uni return x2) and will be doing so until the offer ends, as it's goingto save me about 40 quid!)

    No, I don't have one. It wouldn't be worth it as it won't give me discount on such a low fare

    It will give you a discount on that fare... re-read post #5.

    Besides, these low low fares only last until 15 December, after which the railcard saving will be more worthwhile.

    Not really worth paying it out when I'll be driving in 6 months. Pretty pointless buying what I'll barely use. And the fares work out to £18, with one peak fare, so it feels like a lot of hassle for nothing (am a mature student, so form has to be stamped and signed before it's sorted) :beer: is ofno use to me, as im forced teetotal

    Also, before you use it, check your local machine can print the tickets. As I did this, went to get my tickets, and was told Southern and South West have a problem with printing Southern tickets from a SW machine. Went to my local Southern station, still no joy. So now I have to apply postal for a refund, and am NOT happy
