Anyone find actual proof, not just anecdotal evidence, that you don't or do need to prove residency for the annual demi-tariff I would be fascinated to know of it. Experience obviously doesn't prove anything in this case as both cases are covered.

Thanks,

You mean, like an actual email from SBB confirming that buying one-year half-tax cards (real ones, with the photo on) for my UK resident but frequently visiting parents and having them delivered to my address would be ok:

Half Price Train Card



It went fine; I'd printed out the emails ready to have a tussle about it, but the ticket office (in Morges) sold them without batting an eyelid. They even reposted them for free after they were returned to sender when I forgot to add my parents' surname to our letter box for a few days...
