If you plan on travelling by train in the next few months, you need to check out this sale.There are long journeys on offer from as little as £5 – but you’ll have to book by the end of Wednesday.
Great Western Railway (formerly known as First Great Western) deals with journeys between Wales, Oxford, the South West and London.
It has its January sale on, and there are some great deals on offer.
For example, you could get a ticket from London to Penzance for just £15 (people who do that trip regularly will know the cheapest normal fare is £63.70 – and it can go well above £100.)

This is for travel on GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY only.
That would by by Virgin East Coast. Their sale was a few weeks ago. Not GWR.
That would be Northern and Virgin or Transpennine. Not GWR.
That would be Crosscountry Trains or Arriva Wales. Not GWR.
There were loads of cheap tickets when this offer went live a couple of weeks ago. You just have to understand what the offer is, something most people don't seem to understand.
Is this not valid for like Edinburgh to London Kings X? Bc tickets are way over 100/300 GBP?

Plenty of cheap tickets still available.
I've just checked one of the most popular journeys on this route, Bristol to London, and picked 9th March as a random date to check.
£10 tickets are available on eight different trains leaving Bristol before 10AM, plus on most other trains for the rest of the day. Returning from Paddington there are £10 tickets available on the last five trains of the day.
