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

I don’t mind what Greater Anglia are promoting some good fares but still they should invest more money in improving their network. But I do use Greater Anglia quite a lot and Norwich to London for £24 does seem reasonable.
