Overview
- Discounted tickets go on sale 6–12 January 2026 for travel between 13 January and 25 March on thousands of routes across Britain.
- Officials say more than three million fares are included in the week‑long promotion, with some reports putting the total at nearly four million.
- Headline examples include Exeter to London Waterloo for £10 (76% off), Portsmouth to Waterloo for £10 (59% off) and Manchester Piccadilly to Manchester Airport for £1.20.
- Nearly all train operators are participating, with tickets available via rail companies and approved third‑party sellers; deals cover advance and off‑peak services, are limited by route and time, and cannot be combined with Railcards.
- The relaunch follows the first freeze of regulated fares in about 30 years and is tied to Great British Railways plans; last year’s sale shifted over 1 million tickets and generated more than £9 million in revenue.
