If you bought a season ticket and no longer want to use it you must apply for a refund as quickly as possible. This is because any refund is calculated from the date the retailer receives the season ticket.
How is a season ticket refund calculated?
Season ticket refunds are not calculated based on the pro-rata number of days they were used for. Instead any refund will be calculated based on the types of tickets that you would have needed to purchase to make those journeys. The below table provides examples of how season ticket refunds are calculated.
