The number of people taking advantage of our reduced day return fares from the North of England in the run up to the festive period has grown by more than a quarter in just three years.

On the back of this success, we have cut the cost of a day return “Shopper” ticket to Glasgow by a third, valid on any train after 9.30am.

Return fares are available for just £17 from Carlisle, £22 from the Lakes (Oxenholme and Penrith) and £27.50 from Preston. First Class returns are available from between £35 and £56 from Carlisle/Preston respectively until the promotion ends on January 6.

Last year, nearly 15,000 people took advantage of our flexible Shopper tickets between November and early January, a 28% increase on 2014/5.
