Millions of discounted train tickets for half-term activities, weekend getaways and commuting will be up for grabs next week. The week-long Great British Rail Sale, running from 6 to 12 January 2026, will give passengers the chance to save well over 50% on many advance and off-peak tickets.
The reduced fares can be used to travel on thousands of popular routes between 13 January and 25 March 2026. Nearly all train operators are taking part, with routes spanning the length and breadth of Britain.
The sale comes after the government has frozen rail fares for the first time in 30 years,
This is the fourth year of the Rail Sale, with last year’s sale saving passengers around £8 per journey.
Last year, over 1 million tickets were sold, bringing in over £9 million in ticket sale revenue for the industry.
