There's also a £15 annual membership fee for the Scotrail club 50 though.
True, but you get a 20% reduction on off peak fares and advances year round, plus half price drinks from the trolley.

Took a bit of time to source the journeys but we 've doneFriends of mine from Newcastle just had a great day out in Carlisle for 80p. They say many thanks for tipping them off, and hope I will pass on any more bargains!
i've just been sent an email by LNER, giving me the option of upgrading my trip from Peterborough to Newark next Tuesday (not via SeatFrog), from Standard to First Class. I've paid £6.90 for an advance, but I can pay £35 on the train if I show the Train Manager the email. It's a 33 minute direct train.
However, if I wanted to book a First Advance for that same trip on their website, I can book a ticket for £14.70... the next few tiers of First Advances are also cheaper than £35.
What was the point of the offer?!
I had one in February, £25 Kings Cross to York. Shortly after I discovered Seatfrog and haven’t seen an email offer from LNER again.To make them more money and fill empty seats in first class. I got a similar one last year, that was also really bad value, needless to say I didn't take them up on it.
I assume it's just a computer generated thing. Maybe people on longer journeys get them too and perhaps they might feel it worth it on something like Edinburgh-London?

Our very first ‘Go Green’ week is running 23 – 29 of September 2019, where we commit to making our railway more sustainable and environmentally friendly. Luckily, rail travel is one of the greenest ways to get about. Did you know a return journey from London to Shoeburyness is only 10kg CO2 per passenger compared to 41kg CO2 in a petrol car?
To encourage you to ditch the car and take the train we’re offering you a 50% discount code if you sign up to go green by 29 September. You’ll be able to use this discount code to get 50% off when you buy an adult Off-Peak return train ticket online, for travel between 01 October – 03 November. *Terms apply.
How can I get my Go Green discount?
Thanks for signing up. We will email you on Monday 30 September with your code.

- We’ll send you your code on Monday 30 September
- You can then use the code online to get 50% off an adult Off-Peak ticket
You're supposed to collect tokens from the Scottish Sun but I'm sure the codewords will be on social media before long!
The terms say "You must carry your Scottish Sun voucher with you when travelling to validate your ticket(s)"
I think I may have confused "token" and "voucher". You need to collect three tokens to buy tickets, and one voucher lets you buy two tickets. It doesn't say where the voucher comes from though. Do you print it out from the Scotrail website, or does it appear in the paper?
The Sun website doesn't make it clear: https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/travel/4792490/scotrail-scottish-sun-travel-19-return-offer/
Yes, I realised that. But I couldn't work out where the voucher comes from. It appears from that image that it's just the thing you attach the tokens to, so you need to buy the paper to get it, you can't just use the codes online.The tokens are being printed in this Scottish Sun all this week. See the attached image from yesterday's paper.

I have one too. First PM gets it. Useless to me as Beardy hates railcards.Just received an email from Virgin Trains giving me a 30% off PIN, for up to 2 passengers making a single or return journey.
This is no use to me as I have a 16-25 Railcard and no longer live on the WC route. You must book by midnight Friday but it's valid for 4 weeks so if anyone wants it, feel free to PM me.
First come I'm afraid!
EDIT: This has now been claimed, but I'll leave the post as a heads up incase anyone else has got a code...
it looks like you need Saturday's paper to get the offer, unless they print it again later in the week.
Almost a year since the last LNER seat sale?
