I booked a journey between Plymouth and St Ives on Tuesday for travel on Wednesday using the ^5 discount offer.  Usually I use fgwtickets to book my journey but the discount insists you use a separate site that deducts the ^5.  Anyway the majority of this site was unviewable as none of the graphics were loading but I managed to get through the process as it was the same as fgwtickets.  I thought I booked 4 single tickets (2 plym-st ives and 2 st ives to plym) however when i collected my tickets from the Fast Ticket machine I was given 8 single journeys.  What do I do with the 4 unused tickets?  Normally a refund costs ^10 admin so if I tried that I'd end up owing FGW▸ (First Great Western) ^4! 
I entered 2 adults and later on it asks if any were railcards, both were, but still this should not equal 4 passengers.  I am very confused.
So I've ended up paying for 4 people to travel when I only wanted 2.  But what's more strange is that the fares, though the same (excluding the ^5) when added together do not equal the amount charged to me.

I had no trouble at all with my booking.  Site downloaded perfectly.  Good bargain - Trowbridge to Cardiff ^2.00 return

Sell them when at the station although that is probably ticket touting and therefore illegal
