Anyone planning a train journey this Christmas urged to book early

People looking to take the train over Christmas could save a total of £43million by booking their festive travel in advance this Christmas, according to new data released by Trainline, getting the best deal and make significant savings by booking Advance train tickets.

While some Advance tickets for Christmas are now available, others will be coming soon. To avoid missing out, travellers are urged to sign up for Ticket Alerts to be among the first to know as soon as tickets for their selected journey and date of travel are released.

Trainline customers could make an average saving of £88 per booking by not waiting until the last minute to book their festive travel.

Mike Hyde, Chief Data Officer at Trainline, said: “We recognise that many Brits are feeling the pinch and are making efforts to be especially savvy this Christmas, while ensuring they can still spend the festive period together with their loved ones.

“Trainline customers save an average of 35% by purchasing their train travel directly with us every day. Through ticket alerts, which let you know when Advance tickets become available, Brits can keep even more of their hard-earned cash for celebrating Christmas with family and friends.”
