3 Introduction This is your guide to the restrictions on the use of free and privilege staff and FIP travel facilities. If a service is not listed, then specific restrictions do not apply. This Restrictions document and the Where Can I Go? document will help you get the best out of your benefits. Restrictions apply to the use of both leisure and residential travel facilities unless otherwise stated. Trains shown in the passenger timetable with U or S stops cannot be used for either alighting or joining at the stations designated. As required by the National Rail Conditions of Travel section 6 (with the exception that privilege tickets are not available from Ticket Vending machines), you must buy your privilege tickets in advance before boarding the train. If you don t you will be charged the STD single fare for the journey or a penalty fare if appropriate. Where the facility to purchase a privilege ticket does not exist at the station where you start your journey, you should actively seek to obtain a ticket at the first available opportunity, either on the train or from gate-line staff, or next available ticket office. If you wish to use a sleeper service, book as early as possible. Only a limited number of reservations may be available for staff travel on each service and this can sometimes be reduced if demand is high. Reservations are available in standard class accommodation on some services. Reservations in First class is not permitted on some TOC services. Please refer to the specific pages for further details. When travelling using your staff travel facilities, priority should be given to fare-paying passengers. Whenever possible, cardholders should travel on lightly-loaded trains. If a train is crowded, cardholders should allow fare-paying passengers to take seats. 3

5 Caledonian Sleeper There are no specific restrictions on Rail Staff Travel on Caledonian Sleeper. Reservations for free travel open 3 months before the date of travel. There are limited numbers of free places available. Sleeper Accommodation. Staff using discounted travel have two options to travel on Caledonian Sleeper: 75% discount on fully inclusive flexible fares 75% discounted inter-available tickets plus a full price room supplement Safeguarded staff do not need to date a box for either of these options. Safeguarded staff using free travel (Travelling on Boxes, Blue or Silver Status Passes) must purchase a full price room supplement. Gold Status Passes endorsed for free travel in Sleeping Cars do not need an additional payment but reservations are required through Guest Services and are limited in number. The 2 maximum child fare does not apply to inclusive Sleeper products. Children pay the same price as Adults. The 2 maximum does apply to Anytime / Off-Peak / Super Off-Peak tickets used with a full price child Room Supplement. Children can travel on 75% discounted Adult fares. When making bookings all the group should book as if they were all Adults. In most cases the 75% discounted inclusive fare is cheaper. There are some restrictions on travelling with children on sleeper trains please check for the latest information. Accommodation Types On 28 October 2018 Caledonian Sleeper will introduce a new customer offer with new trains to follow early next year. The accommodation and room configuration is different on the train sets and we are unable to offer the full set of products and services in the current train compared to that which is available on the new train. This means that in the transition there will be the full customer offer on the new train but a restricted subset where trains are planned to be operated by the existing train. 5

6 New Trains On new trains all rooms will be available for either Solo or Twin occupancy in all classes. In the crossover period there will be some restrictions on the existing trains. Holders of Standard facilities may only travel in Classic accommodation. Holders of First Class facilities may travel in either Club or Classic accommodation. There are no discounted or free travel in the Caledonian doubles. Existing Trains The existing train will have a reduced set of the new fares available. Only accommodation and products will be on sale that is common across the two train sets. The enhanced new trains offer will not be available in this period. This will be extended once the changeover dates are known. This means there are restrictions on the products which are available to purchase. This has an impact on Rail Staff wanting to use Caledonian Sleeper. Classic Rooms are only being sold as Twin Rooms, for two people travelling together and Club Rooms as solo occupancy. The share with a stranger option is no longer available. There will be no solo option in Classic accommodation. This means there is no product available for solo Guests in Classic accommodation. A consequence of this is that holders of Standard Class facilities have no product they can purchase when travelling alone. In the period this is happening Solo Travellers with Standard facilities should book as two adults in a twin room and can have solo occupancy of the room. If two people are occupying a twin room at Staff Travel discounted rates they must both have staff travel facilities. You may not purchase a Staff Travel discounted room and take a second person at the discounted rate who does not hold facilities. To book a twin room the booking will always have to be made for two adults. For solo occupancy of a twin room you will have to book as two adults in this transitional period, even if only one is travelling. Holders of Standard facilities cannot use Solo Club accommodation. 6

7 Staff Travel and non-staff Travel Groups If a group is travelling where some of the group is eligible and others are not, a shared room can only be discounted if both people hold facilities. If one does and one doesn t then there are two options: A solo room at discounted rate and a solo room at the public rate A twin room at the public rate In the transition period where current trains will still be in operation the solo staff traveller, with Standard facilities, will have to purchase a twin room at staff travel rate and then a solo room at the public rate to use the first option. Station Lounge Access Holders of staff travel facilities with confirmed reservations in First Class on the sleeper may use the Caledonian Sleeper Lounge up to 2 hours before boarding and up to 2 hours after the scheduled arrival time of the train in the morning. Seated Accommodation Staff travel holders cannot used discounted or free travel facilities to travel in overnight seated accommodation on Caledonian Sleeper. However, they may travel in the seated accommodation on the legs of the journey between Fort William and Edinburgh and vice versa, and Kingussie and Inverness where the sleeper train forms a day service, (reservations are not required). Free or privilege rate travel facilities can be used on these services.
