Yeah, I tried recently and it implied they’d all gone.
On another note, the terms seem to say it can only be used once - so 40% off one booking. Anyone know if I’ve misinterpreted this? Seems a little stingy if correct, as I think TPE does 50% off all bookings advance for students.
You can get one new code every 24 hours. It was definitely working in earlyish December but I've not managed to get anywhere for a couple of weeks now. This has happened before & been sorted without explanation...
I've booked five separate journeys with the GWR January Sale.
Reckon I've saved well in excess of £100 over standard, non split prices.
Hopefully they will do the same next year!
Although not impressed with GWR booking direct. Was unable to enter payment details. Had to use a third party app to access the deals!

5000 is the number of people able to take advantage of the offer.
Not sure if anyone is reading this but it's suddenly working again - thanks if so, I guess.

Transpennine £1 sale on the way.
Similar to the one that was truncated by the 1st Covid lockdown.

Ah excellent - any idea when this might go live or any travel dates? Cheers.
Slightly annoying if that's during the March weekend engineering works through Darlington (not confirmed if TPE services will run; 1 tph London–Durham coast–Edinburgh, rail replacement buses for XC and Newcastle–Edinburgh only for Lumo).
Last time around it was over nearly 3 months but starting late Feb

That doesn't seem terrible, although there's no TPE services between Newcastle and York on 3/4 and 10/11 February and 2/3 and 9/10 April either, so six weekends within the space of three months. Have rail replacement buses typically been included in ultra-low advance deals in the past?

"On the way" so not currently active? The link from @YorkC takes you to the February 2020 offer, of which I availed of a few tickets before Britain shut down.

Shouldn't TPE try and sort itself out first before flooding trains with cheapo advances to make overcrowding worse?

They might bring back some Mk5s for the period given they've officially got them until May!
***grabs his coat***
It's been confirmed on their official Twitter/X page, but only as "coming soon". I reckon it'll be released not before, but possibly on, next Monday.

And no "through" advances.
So for eg. LDS to EDB will need 2 tickets, LDS to NCL, and NCL to EDB, to be booked separately.
If you can do it, 2 quid each way would still be a phenomenal bargain.

I actually queried this with LNER a few weeks back as I could not find a single train included in the offer. They got back to me stating there is limited availability on each train and it is possible that the trains I searched could have sold out using this offer (which I find strange considering I tried several different dates and routes).

On some of the routes, yes, e.g. Man Picc to Scarborough changing at York
Yeah - for a couple of weeks I had the same issue but it seems to be sorted now

TPE sale has allowed me to purchase tickets for one trip (HUD>LIVret 2 adults) and now says I can't buy anymore with this offer.
If this is the same for all, make sure you buy your 1st preference.

Seems not, as Eurostar themselves have emailed me the same offer.

It’s written in their T&Cs, maximum 8 tickets per transaction, maximum 1 transaction per account. Not sure if registering more than one account violates their T&Cs though.

I registered with 2 different e-mail addresses back in winter 2020 and didn't encounter any serious issues. Ironically, I couldn't use half of the booked tickets though due to lockdown.
Trainline seem to be running an ad hoc promotion at the moment, my wife (who travels far less than me) got an email yesterday with a code for a free one year railcard (could be applied to any type). The code is one use but explicitly transferrable to someone else. She opted for the railcard and got it completely for free. I believe her current 26-30 railcard expired the day before she received the email and I think she held that on trainline.
This may have been mentioned before but I'd not seen it.

It didn't have the restriction last time, or if it did, it didn't work.
We did 6 trips, leaving another 4 unused at lockdown.
All booked on one account.
Hey-hum.
