Can anyone help me - does this exist?

[PurpleHays]

My DD1 is heading to Uni next week. I am driving her up there, but really it's not a journey I feel I can do very often.

I want to leave a train ticket with her, so she can pop herself on a train at any point, either during the first term if she's struggling, or at the end of term to come home.

Is there such a thing as a train ticket with no date?

She has ASC and generally functions very well, but has always got confused when buying train tickets. I think it would reassure both of us if she had one in her wallet and could use it any any point.

I have googled obviously, but not found anything that helps! TIA.

Thank you. She's in a city, so the station should be staffed. I think your idea is a good back up - thank you.

In an ideal world, I agree @lljkk But she finds sorting travel stressful and we've not had much success with this one. She can actually do the travel, it's the ticket bit that she finds tricky. I think it's become a sort of block, and her rigid thinking has come into play.

I am also a bit worried that if she's coming home because she's finding Uni all a bit stressful, she will be even less ideally placed to sort this for herself.

That would be brilliant if it were possible @carefullycourageous

Thank you @uncomfortablydumb53

It does seem like there are options, even if not the simple solution I would like!

The Trainline App is brilliant, easy to set it up and buy tickets. Could you do a practise trip with her so she knows how to use it?

I'd pop in to your local station and ask at the ticket kiosk. Maybe there's a new product available none of us know about.

Thank you everyone who has contributed on this thread. I really appreciate your help, and you've given me several avenues to explore.
