    theres a thread in the grab it while u can forum, detailing the free rail travel vouchers that were published in the evening standard, earlier in the week:
    http://forum.moneysavingexpert.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Urgents;action=display;num=1091526720

    from info in that thread it seems that its ok to print out downloaded versions of the vouchers, so no need to worry if u missed out on buying a copy of the standard :)

    Afternoon all,

    Just on the off chance, does anyone have any train ticket codes for Virgin or "thetrainline" ?

    I know there was a few posts floating around a while ago but I can't seem to find them now....  :-/

    Why would I want to go to Blackburn on News years day? ::)

    We are playing Villa AWAY - hence the ticket purchase to be made from Watford to Brum....;)

    But thanks anyway :)
