How will I receive my tickets?
Train tickets booked with GoEuro need to be collected before departure at a self-service ticket machine or from the ticket office in the station. In order to collect your tickets, you will require the 8 digit ticket collection reference number you received with your booking confirmation email and the exact credit or debit card used to complete the booking. Please note, if your card has been replaced by the bank or if your card has expired at the time of collection then you will not be able to obtain your tickets. In either case, you will need to contact the GoEuro customer service team immediately.
Can I buy a ticket for another person?
Purchasing tickets for other passengers is permitted, but be aware that the exact credit or debit card used to complete the booking is required when collecting the tickets at the train station.
What should I do if my card has been lost or stolen, or if my card has expired?
In the event that your card has been lost, stolen or has expired, you will no longer be able to collect your tickets. In any of these cases, you should contact the GoEuro customer service team immediately.
Can I reserve a seat?
Seat reservations are automatically assigned and are only available on advanced non-flexible fares. Due to your ability to travel at any time with a flexible ticket, seat allocation is not possible.
Can I change my seat reservation?
Seat allocation is an automatic process that will always attempt to sit passengers in a group as closely together as possible. In extreme circumstances, such as if a child and guardian are separated, then it may be possible, depending on availability, to change your seats.
How do I change or cancel my ticket?
Changes are essentially new bookings, so book a new ticket for the exact same route as the original booking and apply for a refund with the ticket you will not use. You can change your ticket but the destination and departure stations cannot change, only the time and date.
You can find the online refund application form here, where you will need to provide the new booking reference.
Cancellations depend on the terms and conditions of your ticket fare:
“Advanced” tickets are non-refundable.
“Off-peak” and “Anytime" tickets are refundable if unused.
