Question 1

Answer

If you wish to change your travel time or ticket class, you can pay the price difference between your current ticket and the most suitable ticket for your journey.

In many cases, if you are still travelling during a time when your ticket is not restricted, you won't need to pay any additional fare.

If you want to change the travel date, starting point or destination of your ticket, you may need to purchase a new ticket and request a refund for your existing ticket.

For tickets valued up to £1.99, there is no fee.

For tickets valued between £2.00 and £4.99, there is a £0.99 fee.

Tickets valued between £5.00 and £9.99 pay a £2.50 fee
