National Rail Conditions of Travel Part G - Special Conditions Applying to Season Tickets

38. Season Ticket or Photocard Unavailable for Inspection

38.1 If you are unable to present a Season Ticket, or any photocard required with a Season Ticket, when asked by the staff or authorised agents of a Train Company, you will be treated as having joined a train without a valid Ticket and Condition 9 will apply.

38.2 If you possess a valid Season Ticket and/or photocard but were unable to present it when requested because you had forgotten to carry it on that particular journey or mislaid it, the Train Company concerned may at their discretion refund any fare or Penalty Fare paid in accordance with Condition 9, less an administration charge not exceeding £10.

38.3 In order to claim such a refund, you will need to provide the retailer from whom you bought your Season Ticket with your Season Ticket (and photocard if applicable), together with the additional Tickets you have purchased or any Penalty Fares notices.

38.4 A maximum of two such claims will be considered in any 12-month period regardless of the number of Season Tickets bought during that time.
