TPE Club 55 - I was given the option online when I went though the stages of booking multiple tickets without specifying trains and seat reservation which could be saved for later. It may be worth trying this on the website to see if it gives you the option.

I wonder if this can be used with one £10 anywhere club50 ticket?

Club 50

If you're over 50, you can discover Scotland with Club 50 for only £15 per year and enjoy exclusive flat fares and discounts.

www.scotrail.co.uk

Edit:
To answer my own question. Club 50 flat fare tickets are not valid, but Club 50 off peak discount (and other Railcard) tickets are valid.

Does anyone know if there'll be any sort of Black Friday sales this year? Travelling from Glasgow to London next year.

I'm finally getting to use the Northern newspaper offer tomorrow. I've just been to Redcar Central to buy my ticket, to find the ticket office closed. As I am getting the TPE to York to start my day, anyone know if I'll be able to buy the Rover ticket at York with it not being a Northern ticket office? Northern's website states any staffed station in the Northern network, which suggests I can, but I'd prefer no nasty surprises in the morning!

I don't know about York but I've bought Northern newspaper offer tickets from Sheffield and Doncaster in the last month so I can't see it being a problem.

 

[splashoutradio]

When I've used them in the past, I purchased tickets from Wigan North Western and Preston, both Avanti/Virgin stations, without any issues.

 

[bigbaldbruce]

Thanks both, guess I should be OK

Is that not First competing with themselves? Seems a bit odd.

DfT competing with FirstGroup. Franchises are dead.

Appears the Trainline are offering 50% off for black Friday when purchasing railcards through them using code RAILCARD50

[yorksrob]

Splendid. Now if only there were a Railcard to buy.

 

[BluePenguin]

Touchè. Perhaps you could buy one as a Christmas present if you don’t qualify for any yourself?

 

[ABB125]

I would love to buy a Railcard with this discount, but unfortunately* I still have about 3 years left on the free 4-year one you get with a Santander student bank account...

*In the context of this offer; obviously I'm very happy that I still have 3 years left, and I didn't pay anything for it!

They'll be competing with LNER and CrossCountry so that's DfT competing with DfT then!

I’ll post it on here, as well as the railcard discount thread. 50% off Railcards with the discount code RAILCARD50 is valid until 23:59(GMT) 17/12/21.

Students travelling in Scotland can benefit from 50% off off-peak Scotrail services from 10/12/21 to 24/12/21:

College and university students will be able to take advantage of half price travel on any off-peak ScotRail service from Friday, 10 December until Friday, 24 December 2021.

Available on all singles, returns, and open returns, students will save whatever their festive plans. All students need to do is turn up at a staffed ticket office with their valid ID, purchase their half-price ticket, and jump on board.

And the savings will roll right into January too, as customers who buy off-peak open return tickets will have up to one month to use the return portion for their journey back to colleague or university – up to Sunday, 23 January 2022 for tickets purchased on Christmas Eve!

Full details on the offer can be found here.

ScotRail sleighs prices for students this Christmas

The following has popped up on my MBNA credit card:

Earn 5% Cashback on your next booking with London North Eastern Railway (LNER). Maximum reward £30.00 Cashback. Offer expires 22/01/2022 and is valid one time only. Offer is only valid in the UK. Offer is only valid for journeys booked directly through LNER online at www.lner.co.uk. Book with confidence that extra measures are in place to ensure your safety. This includes more extensive cleaning in stations and on board, as well as mandatory seat reservations to track capacity and uphold social distancing.

Does anyone know - or would care to speculate - if this is for anything booked through LNER, or for LNER journeys only? The wording is (to me at least) ambiguous.

 

[Cletus]

I have Lloyds current account that offers cashback deals. I used a recent LNER one, booking a ticket that was for Southeastern travel only and the cashback was applied.

 

[Kite159]

I also have that LNER cashback offer via my Lloyds account, which I've just used on tickets for a London trip tomorrow (more a case of not having plans to be buying anymore LNER advances for the time being, due to the uncertainly over the C word)

 

[mikeg]

Shame I often get it through my amex, RBS account or both but don't have it this time. Here's hoping it makes an appearance for me soon.

 

[Oscar M]

Does anyone know of any TOC's that tend to do January sales? GWR is one I have in mind.

Northern sometimes do and I'm sure LNER or whoever else has had them on the past have done offers.

But with everything going on at the moment it's pot luck again next year

Not at the moment, it’s peak. Keep an eye on your email inbox though as I am sure you will start to receive various New Year promotional offers soon

They only see merchant name and amount, so you’ll get it regardless of the journey.

 

[mikeg]

So now the LNER 5% offer has appeared on my RBS rewards account but only if I spend £70 or more. Bang goes the idea of using it for my daily commute then.

 

[island]

You could buy a lot of tickets in one transaction.
