2. I no longer need my Weekly Season ticket; can I get a refund?
There must be at least least three days remaining on a 7-Day Season Ticket to obtain a refund Please note: on some 7-Day Season Tickets there may be no refund value after three days of use, dependent upon the relevant Standard Day Return price.
If you stop travelling and no longer need your Season ticket, you can hand it in or post it to the ticket office where you bought it. Any refund is calculated from the date the Season ticket was handed in and will be the difference between the price you paid and the cost of a ticket or tickets for the period for which you have actually used the ticket. An administration charge (see admin charges in our full FAQ – link below) will also be deducted from the refund amount.
