    :confused: I just got my ticket sent today. It was a return from London to Tauton and guess what! It had a mistake on it that allowed us 2 minutes before we had to catch the return train home!!?????

    I hope I can sort this out in time!
  • that would be against ebay rules!

    anyone know what this rule is?

    This is interesting some seem to have had tickets others have received a email and others have heard absolutely nothing at all. I belong in the latter class which is irritating as I applied on the first day of the offer.

    Not sure why or how but I got tickets and the 'sorry' email!
    Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...

    I applied as soon as they were posted and havent received any tickets, but I haven't had an e-mail saying I haven't won either and people are still receiving them albeit in dribs and drabs!

    I emailed the link to my friend in Sheffield after I applied for mine and hers came two weeks ago!!

    I dont think they send them out close to the travel date as I recall someone on the board got theirs a week or two ago and the travel date is not until March!

    Im still keeping my fingers crossed tho :o

  • Hi,

    I have tickets for the 16th of Jan that I can now not use if anyone would like them.

    I have two sets of tickets maybe 3 so 6 people can travel.

    I live in Leicestershire if anyone would like to collect them.

    Let me know

    you might have a problem with this - when I was on the train the moving message above my seat had my name and they were meant to ID me.

    it says on the voucher they may ask for ID to prove that the person travelling is the name on the ticket....did they check?

    They did check the tickets but didn't ask for ID. My mams surname was on the seat reservation screen above the seats though. and when you apply for the tickets it asks how many people are traveling...1 or 2 but it doesn't ask for the other persons name, the staff were really nice though so shouldn't have any probs
