    Sunday ~ Mail on Sunday pg.88

    Midland Mainline

    Example Fares (singles) - based on the number of zones travelled through.

    Sheffield to Leicester ~ £2 Standard, £5 First Class
    Luton Airport to London ~ £2 Standard, £5 First Class
    Market Hanborough to London ~ £4 Standard, £10 First Class
    Sheffield to London ~ £6 Standard, £15 First Class

    They're trying to charge me £14 for two open singles between Derby and Leicester! It usually costs about £10 for a full price return. Should there be a promotional code to enter?

    I just checked the Sheffield to Leicester price - that's showing up as £18?!

    You need to carry the 3 tokens with you to validate your ticket - so I'd say yes.


    Code made absolutely no difference to the price of my ticket with Virgin Trains so I shan't be bothering - and the website keeps throwing up error messages.

  • Can we book multiple journeys on one set of 3-tokens or is this not possible?

    Do we actually have to submit the tokens or just show them if asked for by the train inspectors?

    Thanks

    No you cant book multiple journeys on one set of vouchers. 1 set covers up to 4 tickets but as I read it for the same journey.

    Vouchers need to be kept with your tickets to show the train inspector.
