Due to ‘overwhelming’ demand, London Northwestern Railway has announced that their £1 offer for travel on the Marston Vale Line is being extended.

The special fare was introduced earlier this year to mark the reintroduction of trains on the line and has already been extended due to its popularity.

More than 40,000 passengers have travelled on the line since the offer was introduced.

A single journey between any of the stations on the line will cost just £1, marking a discount of up to 90%.

The offer will now run until the 16th November 2024.

“We have been delighted to see so many passengers taking up this offer and using the Marston Vale Line for work, school and leisure trips.

“Due to the overwhelmingly positive response from our customers, we have decided to keep the offer open for the remainder of the summer and into the autumn to give even more passengers the chance to explore the beautiful countryside and attractions along the line.”
