A popular range of special cut-price rail tickets has been re-launched by Greater Anglia.

People in East Anglia can travel for a day out for as little as £5 return, with children travelling for just £2 return.  Greater Anglia, which operates services from London to destinations such as King’s Lynn, Norwich, Cambridge, Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft and Southend, has launched its autumn ‘Hare Fares’ for a limited time.

Fares must be booked between today (Monday 25 September) and Tuesday 17 October with travel taking place between today and Sunday 3 December.  There is no limit on the number of tickets which can be bought.

For £5, passengers may travel from Norwich to Sheringham, Lowestoft or Great Yarmouth.  Customers could travel from Cambridge to Norwich or London, or from Chelmsford to London for £10, while for £15, travel could be between Colchester and Southend or London, or between Clacton-on-Sea and Chelmsford.

Tickets between Norwich and London or Shenfield, or between Ipswich and Chelmsford will cost £20. A wide range of tickets is available across the entire network. All tickets are available as standard off-peak day returns and can only be booked on-line at greateranglia.co.uk or through the Greater Anglia app.  Hare Fares are not available for journeys wholly within the Oyster zone.

Martin Moran, Greater Anglia’s Commercial and Customer Services Director, said: “We know how popular Hare Fares are, and we are very pleased to be bringing them back this autumn. Travelling by train is cheaper than you think, and Greater Anglia’s new bargain autumn Hare Fares means people can travel for less.

“Our region has so much to offer and whether it’s a trip to the city or coast, shopping or sightseeing, we are giving people more money to spend on having a great time by helping them save money on their train fare. Hare Fares can be used for travel until 3 December, so families can enjoy great days out this autumn. Greater Anglia has a range of great value fares and up to four children can travel for just £2 each way with any adult.”
