VIRGIN TRAINS INTRODUCES CAPPED OFF-PEAK FARES

virgin Trains is introducing capped Advance fares on off-peak services between Leeds and London. Customers will pay no more than £29 for a Standard Advance ticket purchased one week before travel for direct trains on the route between 10am and 3pm, Monday to Saturday.

The scheme – the first of its kind from the operator – also allows Railcard holders to apply discounts to the capped fares.

“We’ve launched this fantastic capped ticket deal to make sure our customers know exactly what they’re paying and can save money,” says Suzanne Donnelly, Commercial Director for Virgin Trains’ East Coast services.

“Customers will never pay more than the capped rate for a Standard Advance ticket when purchased a week before.”

She continues: “On top of the saving, customers can also enjoy all the comforts of travelling with Virgin Trains, such as great food, free wifi, power sockets, and our onboard entertainment service, Beam, where you can catch up on your favourite movies.”
