How near to travelling can I buy a ticket?

If you’d like to buy a ticket, we would advise leaving at least 30 minutes between your purchase and the start of your journey. This is so we can be sure to get your tickets to you in good time. If you’ve chosen eTickets, we’ll email them to you.

It also gives you enough time to collect them from a ticket machine at the station. More details on tickets are available here.
