Standard and Standard Premier

Ticket gates and checks close 30 minutes before departure.

Business Premier

The Business Premier ticket gates close 10 minutes before departure.

If you arrive after the ticket gates or checks close, we reserve the right to not allow you to board your train. If you’ve arrived before your train’s departure time, you can ask at the ticket office for a seat on the next available train. If there’s space, we’ll rebook your ticket and you’ll need to pay a £44 (€49) fee.

It might be that all the seats on your chosen train are booked up already. You can still book a ticket, but we won't be able to reserve you a seat before you arrive.

Seats may become available on the day if some people cancel or decide not to travel. So, as soon as you arrive at the station, our team will do everything they can to find a seat for you.

If you'd like to make absolutely sure that you get a seat, it's best to choose a train that still has spaces available.
