Do law firms reimburse travel expenses for open days?

I’m set to attend a open day with Dentons in London, and was just wondering if they would cover travel expenses. In the initial email it said that they would give more informations on travel closer to the time, but they haven’t given anything and it’s just over a week away. The train tickets are around £180 as I’m coming from a university up north.

I would just email them to ask - this is a pretty standard question the firm will be asked and there is absolutely now harm in asking.
