Lost/missing half a UK rail ticket (advanced purchase), can I get it reprinted?

score:10

Accepted answer

The answer unfortunately is NO

The National Rail Conditions of Carriage states that lost or mislaid tickets will not be replaced nor will refunds be made in respect of them. You will need to book new tickets if unable to find the old ones.

If you are in a position with only half the ticket (seat reservation and no ticket) then you will have to buy a new ticket. From experience the quicker you do this the cheaper it will be as in the UK tickets generally get more expensive for long distance travel the closer to the travel time.

Train companies justify this rule by suggesting that you could have given the ticket away or sold it. Train companies do not accept responsibility for lost or mislaid tickets.

However, if you have misplaced or lost your seat reservation, and are on a flexible (Anytime or Off-Peak, but not Advanced), I have got away with this by sitting in a non reserved seat on the train. No questions asked by the train conductor.
