    From Monday (after third password):

    https://www.scotsman.com/


    The 10
    dashes = the 10 letters of password.

    Thus far = https://www.scotsman.com/myrail----

    Yesterday's password = my
    Today's password = rail

    In todays Scotland on Sunday (Scotsman paper) it has a half page article with reduced fare info; ie Edinburgh to London (1-way), is £12,50 or 1st class £35 Includes Friday and Sun afternoons. More choice during week. You can travel off-peak between 14 Jan and 15 March 2013 and book 1-week in advance. Note excludes 15-24 Feb.

    You can book EIGHT people per transaction :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

  • Am I right in thinking this is only one-way, ie you have to pay full fares for the return?

    Thanks

    Yes. £12.50 for a 400 mile trip is a bargain!

    Online booking only - the tickets can't be booked on the phone or at train stations.

    No booking fees are charged for major credit, debit or charge cards which are accepted.

    You can travel with offer for one way and if offer not available for return part you can select the best fare available. (apparently the mix and match is to give best price)

    It says to have a copy of the offer with you but if you are unable to present, you may be liable to pay for a new ticket at face value.

    Most seat availability on off-peak. Peak trains are very restricted under the offer and limited availability on Fri and Sun afternoons or when major events are on. I hope this helps before web page is on at 9.00am......

  • Thanks for the info, Chum. :T

    Just experimenting here but this looks like the direct link to the offer booking page:
