More than a million train tickets are being sold at up to half price today in the Great British Rail Sale, but you may struggle to find cheap fares for the journeys you want to make.
The rail fare sale for travel between April 25 and May 26 launched at 10am on Tuesday. But with a limited amount of tickets on sale, customers face a race to secure the cheapest seats. And if you want to travel from the North East to London, you can not get discounted fares for Friday or weekend travel.
Each rail operator has been given an allocation of cheap tickets. LNER, which runs trains on the East Coast Mainline connecting Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Berwick, Newcastle, Durham, Darlington and York to London, only has 75,000 reduced fare tickets to flog.
