Train operator London Midland is slashing the cost of rail travel with the return of its £10 go-anywhere ticket deal.
100,000 discount tickets are up for grabs in the operator’s Great Escape offer.
The Great Escape promotion runs from 29 May to 6 June 2010, and gives passengers unlimited off-peak travel on London Midland trains for just £10 when they download a voucher from the London Midland website. Child tickets cost £5.
London Midland commercial director Alex Hynes said: “This is the third time we’ve run the Great Escape promotion, but with 100,000 tickets up for grabs it’s bigger and better than ever!
“Our network is full of great places to visit and many of them have extra deals for rail passengers, so this is the perfect opportunity to leave the car at home and let us do the driving!”
The London Midland network stretches from Liverpool and Birmingham to London, with services running to destinations including Shrewsbury, Worcester, Hereford, Stratford-upon-Avon, Milton Keynes and Northampton.
