Default OT - train tickets

I'm sorry about the off-topic, but I thought one of you might know the
answer.


I've just booked a train ticket for my husband, to be picked up at the
station. It's my credit card account, he's an authorised user. He can't
find his card...it's possible the wrong one was tossed when the new one
arrived, as he CAN find the old one.
I've heard that in the recent past, people have been able to retrieve
their paid-for tickets from the machine using the reference number and a
card other than the one used to make the booking, if that card has the
correct name on it. Anyone know if that's true?, If not, I'll need to
make another reservation (and will have wasted the cost of an
Edinburgh-Inverness ticket).


I purchased a ticket to Taunton travelling on 16 Oct via the GWR website
on 22 August paying by credit card and arranging to collect the ticket
from Liverpool Street station. On the booking confirmation it said "Please
note that this card is due to expire near to your travel date" and "To
collect your tickets, you must have both the credit/debit card used to
purchase the tickets and your ticket booking reference", so I checked and
was told that I had to collect the tickets before the credit card was
renewed.
