2 year rule - crediting back up front costs

[northernladuk]

Are you feeling ok? You seem to be going soft in your old age.

I know, I feel dirty. I CBA to do a search and now speling bee has made me do one anyway :|

I don't think this is the case but can't find anything definitive. Two posts that touch on this are..

Thinking of getting a 12 month season ticket, but want to understand if I purchase the 12 month ticket will I have to credit back the remaining months through the company books as BIK at the point I potentially get the next extension?

What are you going to do with the season ticket if you (for some reason) don't get extended again?

It's that star on the left hand side, isn't it? The one you used to call me an idiot on 13 July?

The OP could always get a refund on the unused portion

Sometimes depending on how screwed up the train company service is, it's actually cheaper to renew an annual season ticket if you need it for 5-7 months then get a refund on the unused amount.

Simply because if the service is really screwed up they give season ticket holders a massive discount on renewal of the ticket.

As long as you are clear about why you acted that way and put it in the accounts then I don't see how it's a problem.....

Why not just play it by the book and get a 6 month travel ticket? How much money can you save?

I only bother with 1 month at a time, just in case, you know, I want to leave.

And if the money is that important, just get a higher rate

My understanding was the the railway company refund based on the amount of time you've actually used it, but each of those days is standard day return.

So say you buy a 1 month season ticket from Manchester to Euston (£1200 for arguments sake) and the cost of a Standard Day Return is £200, the season ticket is worthless after 6 days (6x £200 = £1200).

If that is the same one I used to say other positive stuff since then yes. Must have been a good day for me that
