There’s an email that’s gone to people who subscribe to the SWR promotions list with a link to their New Year sale it appears to work for other people too :https://www.southwesternrailway.com...=email&utm_campaign=jan_sale&utm_term=CTA_1st
On this evening's Hull Executive just been handed a voucher for 30% off my next three journeys with LNER. That'll come in handy. Might ask others if they want theirs.

You mean they are flexible tickets that can be used on any train on a specific day?Not really as those are advance singles valid only on the trains selected, compared to the promotional return fares which are only restricted in time.

Via Money Saving Expert, another go at the Skyscanner £5 discount for new users:
https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/travel/cheap-train-tickets/#needtoknow-5
Skyscanner are offering £3 off any UK rail tickets costing £15 or more when referred by a "friend" (referrer also gets £3 and they don't charge any booking fees). I can refer anyone who is interested who is interested as I'm sure many other members here can.
EDIT: Just noticed there is a better offer posted above. £5 off with code MSEDEC.
Skyscanner now seemed to have removed the facility to buy rail tickets from their app
Pretty clear that the times of January seat sales are over. Nothing from any of the companies that used to do them. Orders from DafT?
Last year, the first twitter post from GWR about their January sale was on January 5th
Black Friday?I'm sure GWR had a "January Sale" that was bookable in December last year as I remember booking a 1st Class jaunt to London in the New Year. (2017/18)
Black Friday?
As a part of the GWR family, you can enjoy exclusive early access to our January Sale. With superb savings on stunning destinations across our GWR patch, you can experience more in 2019, for less.
