2for1 travel to London with Silverlink Trains - ends 7 Jan

What's the deal?

Silverlink Trains is offering 2 off peak return tickets to London Euston for the price of 1, for journeys up to and including 7 January 2007 between its network of 'county' stations. The deal's valid for either two adults travelling together or one adult and one child (though it'll be the cheaper ticket that's free).

The promotion's valid for departures from all Silverlink County stations displayed along this green route to London Euston ONLY.

There are a couple of tiny snags as outward and return journeys must be completed on the same day and you can only travel on trains timed to arrive or depart in London after 10am Monday-Friday. However you can make your return journey at any time (although it's advised to avoid the evening rush between 4-7pm) plus there's no time restrictions for travel on weekends.

All in all, quite a saving if you're planning a trip to the capital with someone else but forgot to book ahead.

How do I get my tickets?

Simply visit Silverlink's website and complete an online voucher request form. You'll then be provided with a link to download and print a personal journey voucher which you'll need to take along when purchasing your tickets at the station.

If you don't want your details to be used for marketing purposes, remember to tick the correct box on the form (the one on the right) to opt out.

Ts & Cs

2. Tickets are non-transferable and subject to the Silverlink Trains conditions of carriage.
