Can I get a refund?

Hmm, I think the answer to this is already no but I thought I'd ask anyhoo.
I booked my train ticket home yesterday. I got an open return to leave on Friday.
I've literally just been offered a lift home by a friend and I could really do with the £40 cash from the ticket but because I bought it with cash and not online...and the train isn't getting cancelled it's just me wanting my money back, will they refund me?
I've got no money (well, about 11p) and that £40 would buy my family the christmas presents they are currently not going to be able to receive

that's for Anytime tickets which I think yours is.

It might just be worth me going to have a look and asking
Did they only refund you if you paid by card? I paid cash!
Thanks
They should refund you by how you paid, so you should get the cash back.
Trying not to get my hopes up in case I can't get the cash!!
You may have to pay an administration fee which is often £5 but can be upto £10.
Simply return it to any ticket office, remember to take both parts (out and return) and any railcards used.
Open Returns come in two forms, in Off peak and Anytime. The Off peak open return is what used to be the 'SVR/Saver', the Anytime open return is what used to be the SOR (standard open return)
It still is called the Saver . They have Standard Off-Peak, Saver Return, Anytime Return and like a million other options. I get so confused sometimes when I'm in a rush because they have so many options under my "Return > Any Route" these days .
Standard Day became Anytime Day
Cheap Day became Off Peak Day
First Day became Anytime Day 1st
Savers became Off peak Return, Saver singles were withdrawn.
Standard Open became Anytime open
Other promotional/weekend tickets became Super Off Peak
All advance changed to follow a standard naming policy and All rovers and season tickets were unchanged.
Clearly I don't read properly. That's mostly because I'm always justabouttomissmygoddamntrain though.
Try working for them. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
Curvy - I'm not a driver no!
Since Cross Country took over though, it has been SO hard to find advance tickets, and when you do they are about £25 which really isn't a discount when a return will cost £42.25. Although saying that it's all going up by 11% on that company anyway so I'm fucked either way. I think I'm going to start going via London and up from Marylebone - takes the same amount of time at the moment with their $%^£$W^^ engineering works and mandatory change.
There are now two Barnsley expressess one at .05 and the other at .37, the .05 continues to Nottingham.
