British rail sale *
Offer closes 27 May.
Over one million rail tickets have been slashed by up to 50% as the government and rail industry launch the first-of-its-kind Great British Rail Sale.
The only catch is that you must make your return journey by 27 May or its pay as usual.
The Department for Transport (DfT) says that the public is encouraged to take advantage of this unprecedented sale, which sees for the first time multiple operators come together to offer nationwide savings.
Savings on offer for off-peak tickets include:
| Fare was |

| £44.00 | £22.00 | London to Edinburgh | |
| £20.60 | £10.30 | Manchester to Newcastle | |
