The Department for Transport (DfT) and Rail Delivery Group (RDG) are of the view that Advance tickets are now non-refundable under any circumstances; this includes where tickets are booked to, or from, locations that are subsequently placed under "local lockdown" restrictions.
Obviously the usual T&Cs apply, such as if the train(s) are cancelled, you can of course obtain a refund as per the Conditions of Travel.
But if you book an Advance ticket to a town that subsequently becomes "locked down", you either have to make the journey anyway (against Government guidelines) or simply lose out on the price paid for the ticket!
Feel free to discuss....
