Don't know why they bother when Saturdays are ruled out.

Chiltern have got a sale on https://www.chilternrailways.co.uk/jan-sale/

Bit of a rubbish sale given the usual price of Advances

 

[Bungle965]

Had an email from GWR about their January sale. Includes 2000 bonus Nectar points (made two bookings and it is 2000 points with each it seems)).

Do you need to be redirected from a certain place or can you just type in a specific URL?

I thought the same. It offered a reduction in price of 35p for my planned journey into London - definitely not enough to warrant trying to work out how to use Chiltern's journey planner

Excellent news, thanks for the heads up! This is the only time I travel by train.

Has to be the worst booking site out there.

It was a "Book today" link on the email. I tried to copy and paste the URL separately, but it didn't work.

I think the other newspapers (Reach PLC) won't start until 21/1/19, though I haven't seen anything official.

 

[Andyh82]

A shame it’s pretty much useless for anyone who works full time during the week.

I’ve just had a look and I can barely leave West Yorkshire with Northern on a Saturday

 

[Karl]

Could somebody post a photo of the latest token from the JPImedia Northern newspaper offer please? I didn't manage to get a paper today.

Hmm - I wonder if you can still use leftover tokens from previous offers - the ones that have the text "AUTUMN RAIL OFFER 2018" printed at the bottom?

I suspect not - that's probably why they change the wording.

This is only available on flows with ‘Northern Only’ tickets. Even if only northern travel on the route it’s not valid unless there is a dedicated Northern Only ticket so it’s worth being aware that there are a fair few northern routes this won’t work on.

Hope this isn't a stupid question, but I have an 8-character alphanumeric discount code for LNER, seemingly valid until the end of Feb (for travel to the end of March) but cannot see how or where to enter it. I have tried all sorts of searches but found nothing. This is not the same as redeeming an e-voucher, which is a much longer alphanumeric string.

Thanks in advance

 

[Rail Ranger]

Re the Northern £10 offer with Reach plc, do you have to go to a Northern booking office or can any National Rail booking office issue the tickets?

The LNER website has this in their FAQs:

Why am I being asked to enter a promotional code?
This is probably because we've sent you an email containing a promotional code, (we can never keep quiet about our best deals). During promotional discount periods, you can put in the promotional code we've sent when you sign in to My Account from the desktop version of the website.

If not, get in touch with our Web Support Team on 03457 225 111 and see if we can explain what on earth we're up to.

Or if you have a Unidays code, I think that you have to first log into the Unidays site and then find a link from within the site to the LNER promotional offer.
