Hoping someone from support can help.
I have a domain that came across from the old Totalise/Madasafish days, which I would like to transfer out. It is an me.uk domain and the new provider apparently needs the EPP code.

You dont need an EPP code for .uk domains. You just request the IPS tag be changed to the new provider.
I've done 2 transfers recently, you request a transfer in with the new provider. Then change the IPS tag to theirs ( they will specify what their TAG is ) and then their systems see the IPS tag has been changed and the transfer completes.
The only difficult part with a Plusnet/Madasfish domain is that you can't change the tag yourself, you have to request the change. However its one things that you can still do via the 'ticket' system I believe , try https://www.plus.net/wizard/?p=wizard&page=22987&wizard_id=38 when your logged in to the member centre. In my case the domains were previously with fasthosts and I was able to use the control panel to change the IPS tag myself.
Hope that helps

Thanks, but going through the sign up process with the new provider (online) it is asking for the EPP code and won't proceed any further ::-(

Which provider ?
I know you CAN use EPP fro uk transfer https://registrars.nominet.uk/uk-namespace/registration-and-domain-management/registration-systems/e... but didn't think anyone was actually using it.

Thank you, but even more challenging is I don't actually have a plus net account to raise a ticket.!!

This seems to go against their own information on their website
To fully free transfer of.UK domain names to us you need to instruct the current domain’s service provider to release the domain i.e. change the domain’s registrar Tag to "X" (changed to not cause any issues). This change will bring the domain’s management under our system, hence domain is fully transferred and complete management of the domain such as future renewals and any DNS changes can be carried out through our control panel.
This change only is a matter of one click so it shouldn’t take long for the domain to move from one registrar’s management to others.
I'd suggest contacting them first.

@MAS46 Often the new providers transfer form has an space for EPP but it should allow transfer without it.
As @CJT-80 says, their own FAQ says its not needed, and I'd be surprised if any (not just PlusNet) provider would provide an EPP code to transfer a uk domain

@MAS46 as i said above, I think its one of the few things that can still be requested via the ticket system
However its one things that you can still do via the 'ticket' system I believe , try https://www.plus.net/wizard/?p=wizard&page=22987&wizard_id=38 when your logged in to the member centre.
I have a feeling that as soon as the TAG change request is actioned, your domain hosting by Plusnet/Madasfish will stop working. It shouldn't but I suspect it will (hopefully I'll be proved wrong!)

Thanks Bob, I wasn't sure what was possible from a Madasafish account and going by a recent thread https://community.plus.net/t5/Everything-else/Old-Madasafish-domain-name-transfer/m-p/1712537 a PM had been requested.
