Purchase Virgin Train tickets online from US address?

Make sure you get a train ticket, not a bus ticket! (They do both). http://www.nationalexpresseastcoast.com/ is the train booking site. Fair point- though it's clear enough on the website! I don't think they'll post you the tickets, but you can select to collect them from a machine at the station. Take the credit card you used to book them with you as you'll probably need to use that in the machine. Yes- they say that credit card is the only option if you're outside the UK. Just as a data point, SNCF had no problem posting our TGV tickets to the UK... for free. (Some UK train websites post tickets for free (e.g. Virgin) some don't- some even charge silly credit/debit card charges now too.) -- (*) of the royal duchy of city south and deansgate -www.davidhorne.net (email address on website) "If people think God is interesting, the onus is on them to show that there is anything there to talk about.
