Half term travel

Anyone thinking about travel over the holiday should be aware that some, if not all, train companies are promoting off peak travel offers that might make for a cheap day out.

London Midland is offering a day anywhere on their network for £10 (£5 for children). Should you wish you could travel between London and Liverpool or Bedford and Hereford. You need to download a voucher from the website, then buy tickets at a network station.

Southern Rail often offers bargains for advance booking through their website, I believe they charge £1 for children travelling with an adult, although not sure if this is web or ticket office bookings.

I'd recommend checking the website of your local train operator to see if comparable offers are available in your area.

Many operators also offer 2 for 1 vouchers on attractions, whilst London is most heavily advertised in my area there are also good offers for other parts of the country.

Thank you, that's very useful.
