£5 day return rail trips

Ah, so you only pick up the ticket on the day you travel?

Wonder what happens if the train is full.
 
Promotional tickets are only valid for journeys departing from London terminus stations. Customers wishing to join further on the same line of the route may do so, but their ticket must be issued with a promotional fare from London terminals. For example if you are travelling from Clapham Junction to Brighton, your ticket will be issued from London Victoria to Brighton.

Now wondering if it's worth planning a bit of a UK trip, based along various lines - in theory I could buy all the tickets in London, then just jaunt around the country :cool:

Right? :hmm:
 
I reckon I might get a return to portsmouth because I want to go somewhere that's in between London and there :hmm:
 
I didn't realise there were more :facepalm:

It is on that list, but same price. But also a couple more places I'd like to go but not enough free weekends!

I know! I wish I'd known about this earlier :mad:

I'm actually thinking of booking some time off work to go training round the country.

Also, tickets are valid for a month after the closing date, but I'm not sure if that's just for the return leg of a month-return ticket, or if you could buy in July to make the trip in August. Some phoning is called for I think :hmm:

I need to get to Grantham cheaply in a couple of weeks time.

They don't do the offer to any of the stations on that line (after Grantham). :(

Grantham, Newark, Retford, Doncaster, York, Darlington, Durham, Newcastle, Berwick-upon-Tweed and Dunbar.
 
Fantastic, the one thing that has been stopping us going camping is the high rail fares to the places we'd like to go.

Thanks for posting this :)
 
Turns out this was too good to be true for my return to Liverpool. You can get a £15 return if you take a slow train from London to Stafford, then another slow train from Stafford to Lime Street... stopping at every station on the way. Not allowed on Virgin trains, and they seem to control the lines up there! :(
 
Phone who?

I didn't phone anyone, I printed out a voucher, Virgin aren't participating, so I worked out my route not using virgin trains - and the journey would be longer than the time I spent there.
 
Yes, but I didn't phone anyone, and he just said what it says in the T&C, that only a certain number of train operators are taking part in the offer.
 
Had an ace time in Brighton yesterday... where else can I go?

I'm not sure which of the places on the list is on the coast and I want more sea action :D
