    Doesn't seem to work on all routes, is it a specific train company ?

    I just got a fare to Manchester airport and it just came up £46, no mention of an offer of 50% off.

    When I was playing with it, it got confused as to what was in my basket, and whether I was due the discount too.

    The way round it I found was to sign up with a different email address and start afresh, knowing exactly when you want to travel. The going back and forth loses the discount somehow I think....

    Clearing your cookies and opening a new browser window may help too.

    Hope this helps!

    Please note you only see the discount once you get to the payment page (Step 6 of 7).

    Where does it give details of this promotion? I have looked at routes in England and they only come up at normal fare! Are there any T&C's connected to it that we can look at?
