East Midlands Trains have an offer that allows unlimited travel for one day only from a selected station to anywhere on the network for £10 for Adults and £5 for Children.They call these Red Dot Days.


They’ve just had a Red Dot Day from Sheffield and the next one is from East Midlands Parkway on 30 January.



You have to download a Red Dot Day voucher from their website.


East Midlands Trains plan to hold Red Dot Days at their most popular stations including Leicester, Derby and Nottingham throughout 2010.

Coletmarie, welcome to the forums.

I do not understand your comment.
There are some excellent deals in Devon and Cornwall.

Just a couple of examples...
Devon and Cornwall Rover ticket. Unlimited rail travel for three days for £40.00.

Train ticket from Plymouth to Exeter for £3.00... a bargain for an hour's travel if ever there was one.

Ok, that last one is not Cornwall, but train from Penzance to Exeter for £6.00 isn't too bad is it?

I won't bother with your "Not just for Transport either." sentence if that's ok... this is a transport thread after all.

Arriva Trains Wales have brought back the Club 55 offer, starting from the 10th January until 19th March. I recieved an email newsletter from them last night and I'd image there will be station posters and leaflets going out to ATW stations this weekend.

Club 55 - Anyone who's 55 or over can travel anywhere on the Arriva Trains Wales network for £15 return. Ticket can be brought over the phone or at train station.

Must have been a popular deal if ATW have decided to bring it back :rotfl:
