Trainline is offering customers £10 off all travel over the Coronation Bank Holiday in a move to help travellers cut costs when visiting family. Those booking tickets in advance to spend the three day weekend with loved ones will be able to knock a tenner off the overall cost when catching the train between Friday, May 5 and Monday, May 8.
The move comes after a Trainline survey revealed that two out of five Brits will spend the Coronation Bank Holiday weekend with their family.
Those looking to take advantage of the offer will need to access the Trainline website via this link, and order your UK train tickets before May 8, 2023. There is a minimum order of £10 which excludes booking fees, but it does mean that if your journey costs exactly £10, that it will essentially be free. The code is only valid once and can’t be used in conjunction with other offers.

According to Trainline’s internal data, Brits are spending most of the weekend in the destination they are visiting with the average length of stay this Bank Holiday weekend being 2.2 days.
And for those looking to avoid rush hour, Trainline has also revealed that 10am on Friday, May 6 is expected to be the busiest time to travel.
Mike Hyde, Chief Data Officer at Trainline: “At Trainline, we recognise the importance of spending time with our loved ones and we’re delighted to play a role in reuniting families across the UK. Whether a long train journey or short, the King’s Coronation Bank Holiday weekend represents a great opportunity to visit our families and spend more time together.”
Customers also have the chance to save on their tickets when travelling with loved ones through the purchase of a digital Two Together Railcard or the Family & Friends Railcard.
The Two Together Railcard is a discount card that allows you and another person to get 1/3 off rail travel for a year when you travel together across the National Rail network. The Railcard discount is valid on Standard and First Class Anytime, Off-Peak, Super Off-Peak Single and Return and Advance tickets throughout Britain.
Meanwhile, a Family & Friends Railcard is a discount card that gives you 1/3 off Standard Anytime, Off-Peak, Super Off-Peak and Advance tickets for up to four adults and 60 per cent off for up to four kids aged between five and 15.
Other railcards include the Network Railcard, 16-17 Saver, 16-25 Railcard, 26-30 Railcard, Senior Railcard, Disabled Persons Railcard and Veterans Railcard.
Alongside the benefits of group Railcards, Trainline customers can save an average of 35 per cent by purchasing their train travel directly through the app and utilising features such as SplitSave.
All train journeys can be booked directly through the Trainline app, with digital tickets available to have on your phone via the app or saved in your phone wallet.
But if it’s specifically May 5 to May 8 you’re travelling, you can get your £10 off travel over the Coronation Bank Holiday here.
