More than one million train tickets will be cut by up to 50% as the government’s rail industry launches the UK’s first rail sales of its kind.
The public is encouraged to take advantage of this unprecedented sale, which for the first time sees a combination of multiple operators to offer nationwide savings.
Reducing rail travel costs will help alleviate some of the pressure on family finances at a time when inflation is rising around the world.
It will encourage people to visit different places, communicate with friends and loved ones, as well as travel around the country.
Tickets can be purchased online from participating retailers for up to half price, which is a huge range of non-peak tickets across the country.
Tickets are on sale with discounted tickets from April 19 to April 25 to May 27.
The government is listening to people’s concerns about rising spending, taking more than 22 22 billion in action alone in 2022-23, which includes supporting energy spending to help ensure people save more money. Offering half-price train tickets is one way the government can further support families with living expenses.
