    Hi there,

    I want to book a train ticket for my sister, if I book can she collect the ticket? As in does she need my laser card to collect it?

    Thanks!

    Generally yes but she will need ID and her reservation number. Some stations will not issue tickets unless you go to the ticket office; the above link has fuller information.

    Happy traveling :)

    Thanks, I had read that but was still afraid, I know last time I took a train I needed my card!

    I just transferred her the money to buy the ticket in the station anyway :P

    Thanks for your reply!

    If the station has ticket vending machines, it is only a problem if the machines aren't working.

    They do however, reserve the right to ask for the original card. In practice though, producing ID in the booking name is likely to be enough.
