What you’ll receive

  1. your QR coded ticket by email,
  2. your journey summary,
  3. the key details needed for travel,
  4. and, where relevant, simple instructions for using the ticket.

Depending on the route and operator, your booking email may also include additional trip information that helps you understand what to expect before boarding.

How your ticket is delivered

Your ticket is sent to the email address used at checkout.

This is the main delivery method for booked tickets through TrainCompass. You should make sure the email address entered during checkout is correct and accessible.

You may also be able to view order-related information in My Trips, including status updates and key booking details.

Delivery timing

We aim to keep ticket delivery clear and predictable.

Typical delivery

Most QR coded tickets are delivered within 1 hour of a successful booking.

Guaranteed delivery

If delivery takes longer than usual, your QR coded ticket is still guaranteed within 24 hours.

Why timing may vary

In some cases, delivery may take longer due to:

  1. route or operator-specific processing,
  2. booking verification steps,
  3. technical delays,
  4. or missing information needed to complete the booking.

If we need anything from you, we will let you know as clearly as possible.

Where to find your ticket

You should check:

  1. Your inbox

Look in the email account you used at checkout.

  1. Spam, junk, or promotions folders

Sometimes ticket emails can be filtered automatically.

  1. My Trips

Where available, your trip page may show your booking status and key delivery information.

If you can’t find your ticket email

Before contacting support, please check the following:

  1. confirm the email address used at checkout,
  2. check your spam, junk, and promotions folders,
  3. search your inbox for TrainCompass,
  4. review My Trips for booking status,
  5. wait until the guaranteed 24-hour window has passed if your booking is still processing and your travel is not imminent.

If your travel is soon

If you are traveling soon and still cannot find your ticket, contact support as soon as possible.

To help us assist you faster, please include:

  1. your booking reference,
  2. the email address used at checkout,
  3. and a short description of the issue.

We may also ask for limited additional details needed to locate the booking.

What if I entered the wrong email address?

If you entered the wrong email address during checkout, contact support as soon as possible.

Please include:

  1. your booking reference,
  2. the incorrect email entered,
  3. and the correct email address you want us to use.

We will do our best to help update the delivery details where possible.

What if my booking is still processing?

If your booking is marked as processing, it usually means we are:

  1. confirming the booking,
  2. preparing the required ticket details,
  3. or waiting on a necessary step before delivery is completed.

A processing status does not automatically mean there is a problem. Your ticket is still covered by the 24-hour delivery guarantee.

Do I need to print the ticket?

In most cases, no.

Your ticket is typically delivered as a QR coded ticket by email, which can usually be used digitally. You should still follow the instructions included with your booking, as route- or operator-specific requirements may differ.
