To make your life a little easier, we offer several booking options – both at home and at the station – and multiple ways to pay.
When you book your tickets online, you can pay by credit card, debit card, eVoucher, PayPal, Visa CheckOut, or Amazon Pay.
These tickets can then be picked up a station ticket machine, added to your Key Smartcard or delivered to you by post – First Class, Recorded Signed For or Special Delivery.

At our larger stations, you can book and pay for tickets at a staffed ticket office. We can accept payment by cash, debit card or credit card and National Rail vouchers.
Unfortunately, we no longer accept personal cheques at our ticket offices. We can accept company cheques if you’re buying an annual season ticket. By company cheque, we mean those from a PLC, limited company, partnership, registered charity, school or local authority. We can’t accept an individual’s cheque stating ‘trading as’.
To use a company cheque you must have a company headed letter to accompany the cheque, and bring two original forms of ID. One of these must be a driving licence, passport or other photo ID. The other must be a recent utility bill or another document that verifies your address.

You may be entitled to a refund for the difference in fare.
