Summer Sale tickets are not available on all routes, are limited and subject to availability and exclusions. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, it could be that the journey you’re looking for is either already sold out or is not included in the sale.

Yes, your ticket can be used for whatever journey purpose you wish, but you are only able to travel on the date and train shown on your ticket or for the journey you booked.

If the train you purchased a ticket for is cancelled or is delayed and you still decide to travel, special arrangements will be made to accommodate you on another train (although a seat cannot be guaranteed). If you choose not to travel, you may apply for a refund on completely unused tickets and you will not be charged an administration fee.

Summer Sale tickets are valid only on the date and train shown on the ticket or for the journey you booked.

Summer Sale tickets are valid only on the date and train shown on the ticket and are non-refundable.

If you choose not to travel at the last minute in the event of train delays or cancellations, you should claim a refund from the place of purchase.

Unfortunately, Railcard discounts will not be valid alongside this promotion.
