    Just a bump here. This is a tremendous deal as it includes meals and stuff as well. It is live now and there is loads of availability - I have managed to get tickets exactly when I wanted for August Newcastle to London return.

    Be sure to double check the advance fares too.

    I have a railcard so not booking this special deal actually worked out cheaper. I got one way lincoln - London first class for 17.65 :)

    On the homepage of Eastcoast is a drop down bar. One of the options is "25 reasons to go 1st class!" or something similar. Click this and then enter your search details. It's an amazing offer and so worth a long trip.
    Thanks OP.

    Also when it pulls up the fares, if your using the mixer page. It will probably be the 2nd option from the left. The first one shows the cheapest price, the second will say from 25.00 and when you clikc on it it will say promotional 25.00 fare or something

    Just a warning. As a regular east coast 1st class traveller the new service is not comparable to the old. Think more mid class.
