    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

    What exactly is the journey you make then if you dont mind me asking...

    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


    I am not aware of any issues with our machines, they were issuing tickets (including advance tickets for Southern) without problems this morning.
