“More discounted tickets than ever before”: that is the government’s promise as the 2025 Rail Sale draws to a close. It offers cut-price rail fares on many journeys between now and the end of May 2025.
Ministers say discounts on “selected Advance and Off-peak tickets” are up to 50 per cent. The Independent has found some examples that are even better than half price, such as Sheffield to Leicester for just £3.80 and Manchester to London (on slower trains) for £7.
