Of note is that 3 tokens rather than the usual 2 are required for the Northern offer this time.

Although if you read the T&Cs it contradicts itself (point 7 I think)

The form for one of the newspaper groups only had two slots last time. I haven't checked to see if it's the same again.

Wasn't it two to do one day and three for a full weekend ticket?

Excellent news! Nice one Northern. Thank you.

The forms were identical barring the names of the two newspaper groups though, and the tokens were identical for every paper and for every offer since the franchise change.

Yesterday I picked up a leaflet at Manchester Piccadilly station which gave details of the new Arriva Trains Wales Club 55 offer from today, Sunday 7th January to Saturday 3rd March. The price is £27 return with £1 off for railcard holders. The add-on fare for Northern is £2.50. The usual conditions apply: not before 0930 on Monday to Friday and no restrictions at weekends except travel is not permitted to or from Cardiff on Saturday 3rd February due to a major sporting event. Return travel must be within 8 days. All return travel must be completed by 10th March 2018. The ticket can be purchased on the day of travel and break of journey is allowed. More details are at: https://www.arrivatrainswales.co.uk/Templates/Club55Home.aspx?pageid=12884903058.

Very useful post - thank you!
And a lot more useful than the Yorkshire Evening Post. I'm glad I decided to check for the token before making a purchase of several papers!

Having just checked the forms, it's the same again this time; only 2 tokens required for the Trinity Mirror form. As the tokens are identical it doesn't matter what newspaper group the paper is actually part of.

Thanks CaptainHaddock! Each code is good for up to nine tickets and works in conjunction with Railcards.

Unfortunately, I don't think that is quite true - but wish it was. I think it is from £29 each way when making a return trip.
I find it disappointing that Eurostar remain stuck in the past with their fares policy. I would use them a hell of a lot more if their fares weren't based on compulsory returns, with singles commanding a significant premium. Because I live well out of London, I would happily fly out to Europe and get the train back, but with the large premium for Eurostar singles, I almost always end up flying both ways. If I do use Eurostar either way, it is most likely to be with a DB ticket, not a Eurostar one.
How is a £29 single not true? A single is one way.
Oh, I get it now, it must be made as a return trip. Left my original reply as evidence of being a dunce.
I've had a look for Tuesday 20th February and D6700 is correct. If you book a single journey there are no £29 singles but there is if you book a return journey.

It's exactly the same in the Visitor paper in Morecambe. Just an advert for next week.
