question is in the title really.

I have a number of these vouchers - issued as compensation for delayed trains.. can I use them on eurostar, or for through ticketing (from newcastle) on eurostar?

Looking forward to your knowlegable replies

    Different companies issue these, each with their own terms.

    The terms of use will be printed on each of your vouchers.

    I believe if they are "national rail" vouchers you should at least be able to use it for payment of through-ticketing. Using it for Eurostar I'm unsure of.

    I have just had a look at the rules regarding the Green Rail Travel vouchers RTVs.

    According to the document I have in front of me. You can only use them for payment towards Season Tickets, Rail Rangers and Daily Tickets.
    You cannot use them on Grand Central or Wrexham & Shropshire (apparently).

    So I would say you cant use them on Eurostar.
