Great British Rail Sale - Up to 50% off train tickets

Available from GOV.UK
Comment42

Over one million rail tickets will be slashed by up to 50% as the government and rail industry launch the first-of-its-kind Great British Rail Sale.

Tickets go on sale from 19 April (book by 2 May) with discounted tickets available on journeys from 25 April to 27 May.

Just buy yours from train companies as per usual. Certain routes have their First Class tickets on sale as well. Promotional tickets are limited, so be quick. Once tickets are gone, they’re gone...selling fast at the moment.

This offer can be coupled with railcard or/and train operators' discounts (like LNER Perks credit), don't forget to apply them to get better pricing!

Ticket type: Rail Sale Advance Single/Great British Rail Sale.

Unsure of where to go? Use the following link to get inspired ;)

Ooh this looks good, wonder if I can get my commute a bit cheaper if I break up the journey some how

studentgirl123 definitely! I bought a set of tickets by splitting the journey, much cheaper! Paid £3 instead of £12.4 (normally would have been priced £17) - note that the advance ticket T&Cs still apply, so cannot start, break, resume or end at any intermediate station except for change to/from connecting trains. Providing you hold valid tickets that cover your journey, that would work out nicely 🙂

Excellent offer if you have a trip planned and can travel off peak, and if there is somewhere you have always wanted to go, now might be the time to do it also (and as others have said, break your journey and save even more).

Nice one.

MistaMo consider splitting up the journey. Birmingham to Stafford to Manchester to Newcastle. The only downside is it might take slightly longer!

MistaMo that's unlucky. I suppose it does depends on timings as well. Some popular routes sold out yesterday, on its first day

A very good thing for anyone who uses the trains regularly as my friend Viv has had to do with the West Midlands Metro Trams not running again until at least the end of May this year. I will definitely be mentioning this to her and see her face light up with anonymousbuyer thanks for sharing this deal with everyone and happy travels.

mtabbanor sadly they do not offer discounts for all stops but you could try searching for stations like Norwich.
