We have launched the Great British Rail Sale, the first ever nationwide rail sale, which has seen train operators from across the industry come together to offer significant discounts on over a million train tickets across Britain. The Great British Rail Sale will help save families money and them connect with friends and families.

The vast majority of train operators in England are involved, so tickets will be available across the country. In developing the Great British Rail Sale, the industry has identified routes and times where there is spare capacity to support additional passenger demand and avoid busy services.
