The 2PA product will be used to support our promotional activity. For 2025, we are launching an Autumn Sale that will utilise the 2PA Advance fare.
As part of this promotion, the 2PA product will be made available for sale through all retail channels. Being an Advance fare, tickets must be purchased in advance of the travel date—they will not be available for purchase on the day of travel.
Railcard discounts will not be applicable to this promotional fare however child discounts will still be allow.

Change of Journey/Excess Fare paid
Where an excess fare has been paid up to the price of a walk-up ticket, the excess fare paid varies the terms under which the passenger can travel, but it does not alter the refund terms of the original Advance ticket.
If the passenger subsequently asks for a refund on the combination of Advance ticket, Excess Fare paid and any administration fees paid, the Advance ticket and change of journey fee remain non-refundable and a refund is only payable on the difference in fare paid. This may be subject to a refund fee of no more than £5.
If your journey is cancelled or disrupted: If the train you purchased a ticket for is cancelled or delayed by more than 60 minutes, special arrangements will be made to accommodate them on another train (although a seat cannot be guaranteed). If the train you purchased a ticket for is cancelled or delayed, and as a result you decide not to travel, a refund will be offered on completely unused tickets and you will not be charged an administration fee.
There may be rare occasions where a cheaper Advance fare becomes available closer to the time of travel, for example if a group booking is cancelled and extra seats become available. Please note that in these circumstances Advance tickets that have already been bought cannot be refunded in part or in full.
