5 free train tickets per person

I already know it is valid for First Capital Connect only. I'm referring to taking a chance with these tickets that is all. I have not seen what they look like but was just wondering if there is a chance another First service might accept them without knowledge of the promotion and the T&C's.

I imgine the tickets state that it is for First Capital Connect only?

Yes, ticket is only for First Capital Connect. Not valid on any other First service.

I see that these tickets are now appearing on ebay...... being sold by people who live in Manchester and Sutton Coldfield....nowhere near the First Capital Connect line.

I received my tickets this morning and am really grateful for them -I live in Bedford and can now plan a christmas shopping trip with my family -something I couldn't have afforded to do without them. Yay.

Got mine this morning, they are the scratch cards that were given away to us unlucky First Capital Connect season ticket holders in 2010 when they could only run about 40% of their timetable for months on end. I already live in London and am a bit fed up of days out to Brighton after using the 20 of these I previously had so I'm not sure how I'll use 5 in the next 2 months!

Cambridge? Ely? Kings Lynn? Peterborough? All lovely places whether for culture or shopping (but Cambridge best for both).

If I were FCC I'd have limited the offer to addresses in at least the counties relevant to their train services. What a sorry state of affairs when greed trumps need

Received tickets. Can you get to Brighton from London on a weekend using this service? I know certain Thameslink stations such as Blackfriars doesn't operate on weekends

Received tickets. I am sure Thameslink trains aren't in use over weekends, in London anyway. So a bit disappointing these have to be used in the week...

They run from Bedford to St Pancras and then start again at London Bridge to Brighton. The Thameslink bit across the City doesn't operate at the weekend.

However, filling in Brighton to Bedford on the ticket would let you travel the whole journey, just you'd have to pay for the tube yourself.

So could I go from London Bridge to Brighton? Overground station. Thanks
