I've collected my 3 Daily Mail tokens & been online on https://www.virgin.com/trains/dailymail but once I'd read the 'Terms & Conditions' I clicked onto the red 'Buy Your Tickets' & all I got was a choice of Value Tickets or Standard Tickets. A value return ticket from Wigan NW to Glasgow Central is (£12 + £16)ie. £28.00. There is no option to buy tickets at the special fare of £10.00 return. I seem to remember that this problem happened during the first few days of the promotion last year.

Anyone else had problems with the Virgin Trains/Daily Mail promotion tonight?

You are looking too early Mike. Firstly, the train timetables change around the end of May to a summer timetable. Secondly, Virgin are notorious for not allowing tickets to be bought 3 months early. In my experience with Virgin Trains booking, 14 day advance tickets are quite often only released 15 or 16 days before departure, giving the punter very little time to purchase!

Many thanks for that! I refuse to buy the Daily Mail on principle, no matter what they are giving away, so didn't have any tokens.

I don't buy the Mail, it's a nasty paper. So here's the plan:

I've gone on a "trial" for daily mail online, and simply copied the images of the tokens and saved them.

So what you can do now, as I have done, is go for a virgin train first class for £7.50 under one set of tokens, if you're unlucky they'll stamp these, but you can print off as many sets as you like, so who cares, and if you have a connection, simply do the same again, or if they dont have first class, opt for the £2.50 single.

I've uploaded all the images and coupons that you may need, and you can get all this here:

So simply print your own coupons with the tokens and voucher in there, hop over to the train companies site, book your trains, first class for a tenner, and enjoy a free meal and alcohol, maybe make a connection, use another coupon if necessary, and a fresh set if you are doing a return journey.

Enjoy,
Morf.

The Daily Mail and The Sun should be brought up on charges for incitement to racial hatred.

Got £30 return to London to Norwich 1st class - thanks!

Has anyone experienced problems by printing out the tokens and sticking them on, as they're not printed on newspaper paper and are actually on regular computer copier paper? I just worry that I'll flash my coupon and the guard will throw me off the train somewhere in the Midlands!!
