A long-distance train operator has added 10 new routes to a discounted tickets scheme.
Avanti West Coast said passengers can now buy tickets between London Euston and Rugby, Coventry, Nuneaton, Birmingham International and Wolverhampton for £9.
Other routes added to the Superfare programme are between London Euston and Oxenholme (£26), Penrith (£26) and Carlisle (£28), between Milton Keynes and Manchester (£18), and between Preston and Glasgow (£12).
The scheme involves customers buying a ticket for a particular date and specifying they want to travel in the morning, afternoon or evening.
Around 24 hours before their journey, Avanti West Coast matches ticket-holders to a quieter service and informs them of their departure time.
Tickets must be booked at least seven days in advance. Fares are fixed at between £9 and £28. Railcard discounts do not apply.
Sarah Copley, commercial director at Avanti West Coast, said: “We’ve been overwhelmed by the response to Superfare.
“For those with flexibility around when they travel, it’s a great way to grab yourself a bargain and we’re delighted to extend the Superfare ticket benefits to more destinations.”
