Travellers are advised to book from Thursday, January 2, to take advantage of the offer and get even more off the cost of cheap advance tickets for travel on the Great Western network – with journeys available for as little as 7p per mile.
From winter coastal walks in Devon and Cornwall, to a city break in Oxford, Cardiff or London, the GWR rail network connects the most popular cities, historic towns and beautiful regions in the South West of England and Wales.
GWR sales and marketing director Amanda Burns said: “The January Sale is designed to encourage people off the sofa and away from the post-Christmas telly, to explore the fantastic sights of the South West instead. Our Advance fares offer great value throughout the year, but in our sale you’ll find some great deals available on some of the lowest fares.”
