August Weekend Train Travel Offer

South West Trains are giving people a good incentive to leave the car behind for weekend leisure trips.

Throughout August you will be able to travel throughout the South West Trains network for just £10 return for adults, and £5 for children. It’s all part of their new Midsummer Madness promotion.

Available on the majority of Saturdays and Sundays throughout August, passengers will be able to call into their local South West Trains station and pick up a day return ticket between any two destinations* on the South West Trains network for just £10, or £5 for kids.

Commenting on the Midsummer Madness promotion, Stewart Palmer, Managing Director of South West Trains said:

“With many families around the country now watching every penny, and many people choosing to stay at home this summer, we wanted to come up with an offer that would be affordable for everybody and at the same time prove that the train can provide a great and easy day out for all the family.”

“There’s no limit on the number of tickets available or how far you can travel – as long as you can get there and back on a South West Trains service in a day, you can travel to any one of the 184 destinations on our route”.

Terms and conditions do apply for this offer - full details of these and further information about the Midsummer Madness can be found on the South West Trains website.

* The promotion excludes stations west of Honiton, stations between Warminster and Bristol inclusive and travel to/from the Isle of Wight.

Tickets are available on Saturday 1, 8, 15, and 22 August and Sunday 2, 9, 16 and 23 August.  The offer is a day return ticket, and all tickets will be priced at £10 per adult and £5 for children.  No further discounts are available (e.g. Railcards, GroupSave etc).

Tickets can be bought on the day of travel from any South West Trains station, or booked online and over the phone in advance.
