No repost, just helping the public by informing them it has ALREADY started unlike the post you pointed out which stated tomorrow.

I can't find cheap tickets. I'm off work weekend 19th-20th March and 9th-10th April. I live in Rugby. Tried London, Manchester and Edinburgh and all full price..... Help please.

Thank you, just bought a return ticket for London - Lake District, £10 each way. BARGAIN!!!

To anyone that has successfully booked are you able to choose your exact seat on the planner like you can when buying normal tickets?

Yes I certainly feel screwed - booked 2 weeks ago following their book early for the best price advice and paid more than double the sale price. I have complained as I in order to get that "Best"!! fare I had to book a train earlier than I wanted AND with a change of train. I doubt if any refund will be forthcoming as on the bottom of the BFF there are the initials T&C which is a (hidden in my opinion) dropdown which says sale fares may be cheaper than the BFF.
I have suggested to them that they should advertise the sale BEFORE the services covered appear on the BFF.

On getting back from my holiday I find if I had waited I could have gone on the 1 hour later DIRECT train that gets there only 7 minutes later than the early one and for less than half the price.
Just to rub it in I have now looked for an advance ticket for the home journey which is outside the sale period which means it is £123 as against the £10 sale price. Incredibly the First class advance fare is less at £103.

They have kindly screwed any customer who booked in advance.

Great customer service there Virgin......

£24 for 2 people return to Edinburgh from Preston in late April! Bargain!

288 for doncaster to Edinburgh... cold

Dont 100% agree there, when this is quoted on their website

Book early
Thinking ahead can save you some serious pocket money. The further in advance you book, the cheaper your tickets. Our Standard and First Class tickets are released twelve weeks before departure, and that’s when they’re at their cheapest.

Whenever there's a sale of any kind people who paid the higher price will feel aggrieved, it's not just a Virgin thing.

Great. Thanks

Ah yes thanks. There are loads from Glasgow @ £14 also.

Is anyone able to find the £14 Edinburgh to London fee? Cheapest I see are £25.

London to Glasgow is just £28 return on some dates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can the sale tickets be printed at home ?

great price

also struggling to find decent fares. I found the East coast sale much easier to use and find successful sale seats!

That is probably why I am struggling to find any cheap fares :smile: £300 return chesterfield to edinbrugh is crazy

Got 2 returns Edinburgh to Crewe for £28. Nice.

thanks op

Nice!!

Thank you for posting,didn't know about this,just saved myself money.:laughing:

I assumed if virgin operates out of Liverpool lime st they would have ticket offers, obviously I'm wrong!

The sale only applies to tickets on their trains. If you want a ticket for a route they don't serve you won't get the sale price.

You can do the journey using Virgin trains only, but you'd have to go the long way round via Crewe, and buy separate tickets for each leg.

Yes I know that but I thought since virgin operates from Liverpool lime st they may have some cheaper offer's!

This is for VIRGIN West Coast trains only. For a Liverpool to Llandudno journey you'd use Merseyrail to get to Chester, then change trains there.

Just got 2 return tickets from Glasgow to London mid-April Saturday-Sunday. Thanks a lot for the heads up OP!

How come this the cheapest £23.80 return from Liverpool lime st to Llandudno junction , am I doing something wrong!

URL not working for me?

Maybe you should try booking to other stations instead of Cov. I've bought some Carlisle to Nuneaton for £5 each way (on Sundays), and midweek Carlisle to Birmingham for £8 each way.

Sadly the Nectar offer is for VT East Coast. I believe this flash sale is for West Coast?

Thank you! I have just booked Coventry to London for 3 people,£16return!

why not inform the original poster?
spam

current nectar offer for me 1000 bonus points for purchasing 1st train ticket

Frustratingly the one I tried is only cheap one way. Eg Coventry to Carlisle £8 but all the returns are £40 odd on the days I tried.

Still, great deal if it works for you

When does this sale start?
I cant find any cheap tickets.
I want to buy some for this weekend From Manchester to London

getting bus beyond lockerbie is no joke will take car no waiting

cant believe this. I booked tickets today why ddnt I see this deal earlier. heat added.

Perfect timing. I saved a few quid.
