“Customers should book early to avoid disappointment. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.”
Rail Minister, Huw Merriman, said: “This flash sale is five million chances to see family, friends or just get out and around for prices as low as 50p. We need to get people back on our railways and initiatives like this will do just that.”
