The Department for Transport has announced the return of the Great British Rail Sale, offering discounted train tickets on more than 3 million journeys. The sale will run from 6 January to 12 January 2026, and the discounted fares will be valid for travel between 13 January and 25 March 2026 on thousands of routes across Britain. Passengers can expect savings of more than 50 % on advance and off‑peak tickets, with examples such as a £10 journey from Portsmouth to London Waterloo (59 % off) and a £1.20 ticket from Manchester Piccadilly to Manchester Airport (59 % off). The promotion follows the government’s first 30‑year freeze of rail fares and is part of plans to establish Great British Railways, a nationalised operator that will consolidate 17 rail organisations.
