You can now buy a discount fare just an hour in advance – but not on all lines
Rail passengers who need to travel last minute on Virgin East Coast can now buy cheaper “Advance” tickets on the day of departure, offering big savings over the train firm’s exorbitant walk-up fares.
Previously the tickets have only been available until midnight on the day before travel. Now those using Virgin Trains East Coast services between London, northern England and Scotland are able buy 43% cheaper Advance tickets up until an hour before the train departs – but not on all routes and trains. The move, part of a drive towards a simpler fare structure, means those turning up to the station without a reservation won’t always have to buy the most expensive “Anytime” or off-peak full fare.
