Ah... ok thank you Yorkie for your reply. I need to delete my last post then so that I don't get caught! Is there any way of doing this?

Sorry if I have caused offense to anyone!

No offence caused, but you did ask if it was allowed...;)

Best thing to do is press edit , and blank it out. (And/Or you could ask a moderator to remove it).

Thanks yorkie, have edited and deleted the post. Lol, in fact I had an e-mail from ebay this morning saying my item had been removed...apparently I was in breech of section 129, (or 29, I can't remember) of the railways act 1993. You have to be an authorised person to sell train (and plane tickets for that matter), so I technically was being illegal...oops!

Ah well, I think the words damn and blast come to mind! Still, I guess the orginal price was only £10 so I'm not really losing much!

Thanks anyway

I didn't see the post but i'm guessing your selling unwanted Virgin Value tickets?

Tickets are not transferable from person to person, but with the Virgin tickets you can exchange them for other days of travel for £10 per single providing there is a seat for the same price when you want to travel, otherwise you'll pay the difference between the two fares plus the £10 admin fee ;)

I'm authorised to sell rail tickets :)
