The person who bought the tickets on my behalf inputted the wrong date in late October - a date I know I will not be available. Tried to get the date changed or else get a refund but the problem is, it is three tickets London King's Cross-Doncaster £10 Doncaster-Leeds £6.85 (the above combination was cheaper then the £22.50 direct fare on offer at the time) Leeds-London £13 The total is £29.85 East Coast insist on charging a £10 "admin fee" to change each of the three tickets - total £30.00. Am I doing anything illegal by attempting to sell these tickets (including reservations) on to a third party so that I can buy tickets for the date I actually want to travel?

I don't see why - unlike airline tickets they were not bought for a specific name. Indeed, if it was illegal to pass the tickets on to someone else, only the person who actually bought the tickets for you would be able to use them. "Not transferable", as I understand it, only means that once you've used part of the validity of a ticket, no-one else can use the rest - most relevant to seasons and return tickets. Indeed, I see no reason why you shouldn't give or sell on the three individual tickets to three different people.

Probably stating the obvious, but if any of the original tickets also show a specified time of train departure, the user has to catch that train, otherwise they are invalid.

Thanks norbitonflyer. All I've got to do now is find someone here in London wanting a day out in Leeds on 27/10 leaving KGX just after 7AM and returning just before 8PM

I can't say for definite just now, but I might well be that person!
