You may be required to pay an administration fee (up to a maximum of £5 per ticket). The refund amount will normally take into account any use you have made of the ticket and in some circumstances no refund will be paid.

If the number of tickets requested for refund reduces the group size, then the undiscounted Off Peak Return ticket price will be used to calculate journeys made.
