That being said, they have been made aware that we a husband and wife, and when I spoke to the call centre before any of this happened, they said that they would link the tickets so that staff knew we were travelling together.
If it was a cash ticket, you could have paid separately, you were still clearly travelling together & presumably same surname.
In UK law how you paid is not relevant, they accepted the payment & you have the same legal contract as a cash ticket
