"Simply fill in your details below, print off the confirmation and present at your local Chiltern Railways booking office along with your season ticket pass and you can trial the Chiltern service for yourself with our compliments."

    Thanks Crabman, that does look good.
    Except for the bit:
    Simply fill in your details below, print off the confirmation and present at your local Chiltern Railways booking office along with your season ticket pass and you can trial the Chiltern service for yourself with our compliments.
    in bold which seems to imply that you need to be a season ticket holder to benefit.

    Oh dear, I initially saw this in a newspaper and it simply said "Free return ricket to London with Chiltern Trains" in the middle of a full-page advert :o

    Thanks for pointing that out :o:)

    However, when filling in the form, one is asked:
    How often do you travel by train?
    And needs to select one of the following answers:
    At least once a week or more,
    At least once a month,
    Not frequently
    or
    Never


    So it could be that being a season ticket holder may not be a requirement.:confused:
