Club 55 rides again

[merlodlliw]

Interesting news from Arriva Trans Wales is that their 'Club 55' bargain offer for travellers over 55 is to be available again from 10 January to 19 March. With Club 55 you can travel anywhere on the Arriva Trains Wales network - even Holyhead to Milford Haven - for a remarkable £15 return (£13 for Senior Railcard holders.) Full details are on the ATW website

Carlisle to Wick for £15. Now that's a journey.

Or even from Newcastle?

I don't think so, no.

Don't they still run Newcastle - Carlisle - Glasgow (?) via Kilmarnock
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
In the Northern TT there is a 1712 NCL - GLC M-F and there is two trains into newcastle (there may be more but I only checked quickly)

EDIT: Just checked the website to see where you can use it from. My mistake

Yes, but the only places outside of Scotland it says are valid are Carlisle and Berwick.

Northern operate the NCL - CAR section of the through trains under contract to Scotrail. I believe that Northern Rail's similar promotion is offering returns for a fiver, should the NCL-CAR section not be included in the Scottish promotion. There are currently three trains a day NCL to Glasgow, although the first of them might be outside the "off peak" nature of the promotion.
