Hello all,

Can I buy a ticket on the train using Rail Travel Vouchers?  On Saturday, I'm traveling from Ashchurch for Tewkesbury to Birmingham New Street and would like to use some vouchers I have.  I've seen that you cannot buy tickets online using vouchers, but I was wondering whether they would be accepted on the train?

Any help would be gratefully received, thanks

(Out of my area so don't know the station facilities) Assuming there is no manned ticket office at the station then they can be purchased on board. They are entered through Avantix▸ (Ticket Issuing System used on board trains) as warrants and all the information needed to process them as such is now printed on the RTV.

Thanks for your help everyone.  Unfortunately, I ended up having to buy advance tickets online as they were waaaay cheaper and I'm unable to get to a ticket office before Saturday.  I'll use the vouchers at another time though.

Thanks again
