Although we don’t accept customer cheques, we still accept:
If you bought your Season Ticket directly from us, we can generally give you a refund if there is:
For your refund, come along to a staffed ticket office or apply to Customer Services. Refunds are made in the same way you paid. We can only arrange refunds on tickets that were originally bought from a Southeastern outlet. If you bought it somewhere else, then you should go directly to the supplier for the refund.
You won’t get a complete refund for the period of time left on your ticket. Refunds are calculated from the first to the last date of travel and is the difference between what you originally paid and what you would have paid for a Season Ticket (or combination of tickets) covering that period. Refunds are NOT calculated on a pro rata basis, this is to make it fair on everyone and to discourage people from buying Season Tickets they don’t intend to use.
We can’t give you a refund if you don’t use your Season Ticket for a period of time then start using it again, unless you have been ill.
What if I’ve been too ill to travel regularly on my Season Ticket?
We’ll consider a refund if you’ve been unable to travel due to illness for a minimum of four continuous unbroken weeks. We’ll calculate your refund by multiplying half the weekly Season Ticket cost by the number of weeks you were unable to travel – known as an intermediate period of sickness.
An intermediate period of sickness can be refunded if it started after your Season Ticket began and ended before your Season Ticket expired. During this time you need to keep hold of your ticket.
If you know you won’t need your Season Ticket again, we can give you a refund on the length of time remaining.
If you’re able to, you can always call in at your local Southeastern station for advice or call Customer Services on 0345 322 7021.
For stolen or lost Season Tickets, please come along to a staffed Southeastern ticket office as soon as possible. If your ticket was stolen, please also let the police know.
