Plus some clients won't allow any worker to drive over certain distances. This is due to health and safety e.g. them being partially responsible for any accidents you have."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

What do you mean claim? The business can buy them yes and if contract gets cancelled you just end up paying for something you didn't use.
As for buying the train tickets in advance - it would make sense to buy in advance for better prices - rather than just booking the day before travel and hitting the company with the highest charge each time - but at the same times dont want to be stuck with 8 weeks of train tickets or hotelsComment

tbh I look at the bigger picture, and having been 'travelling' with/for work for +30 years now I'm just not prepared to slum it (privately or business) to save a few quid - plus in 1st class you get meals/drinks and free wifi.Comment

Make sure you ask about any hotel chains they have an agreement with, and how they would like you to book."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Unused train tickets can be returned and a refund obtained, albeit minus an admin fee. This mitigates the risk of purchasing tickets a long way in advance.Comment

It becomes fraud if you claim the mileage personally from your company when you went by train as you defrauding HMRC of revenue.
