A train operator is offering unlimited travel on its network on Saturday 5 March 2011 for £15 (£5 for children), as long as passengers start their journeys at East Midlands Parkway station.

The station was opened two years ago by East Midlands Trains which is keen to show how useful the new station is by staging another “Red Dot Day”.

“With an 850-space car park offering all day parking for just £5 and a regular train service to London, East Midlands Parkway has proved a popular location to hold our Red Dot Days,” said Marc Turley of EMT.

“We are pleased to be returning to East Midlands Parkway for the fourth time and hope that our first Red Dot Day of 2011 will prove to be a huge success.

“We want as many people as possible to take advantage of this special offer, so are urging people to book early and reserve a seat in advance, which can all be done easily at East Midlands Parkway station.”

EMT launched its Red Dot Days in June 2009, and has so far held 11 of these special days at different stations across its network, with almost 16,000 passengers taking advantage of one of the discounted tickets.

Passengers can travel on any EMT service from East Midlands Parkway throughout Saturday 5 March.  Return travel can be made on any train, any time, provided return travel is made on the same day.

Tickets are available only from East Midlands Parkway station with a special voucher, which can be downloaded from: Red Dot Day  

EMT advised passengers to book early and reserve seats for their journey.

EMT will hold another Red Dot Day at Corby station on Saturday 2 April 2011.  Tickets from Corby will go on sale in early March.
