    Probably strike on the day. Heat though 🏻

    Strike dates this month have already been announced and exclude the promotional dates. Any new strike dates would require 14 days notice which would be after the last date for using the ticket.

    Is it only for Birmingham?

    So anywhere on West Midlands Trains on the line between Coventry and Wolverhampton is fine and does of course include Birmingham New Street to either Coventry or Wolverhampton travelling on West Midlands Trains.

    This deal is now live and just to stress your journey, as long as it's within the West Midlands Zones 1 - 5 area, can be made on any train such as Avanti or Cross Country, not just West Midlands Trains. For example, an anytime return ticket between Coventry and Wolverhampton on the direct services of Avanti or Cross Country Trains is bookable.

    This should work Shrewsbury to Birmingham right?
    Gareth57's avatar
    Gareth57 Author
    Birmingham New Street to Shrewsbury on West Midlands Trains would allow you only to go as far as Wolverhampton on that route under this offer.

    Do l need to Purchase the Ticket 1st, Tomorrow, then after adding the Promotion code, the Ticket will be Free? Is that right?
    Please help! (edited)

    Tomorrow, 13th March is the 1st day you can purchase the ticket and after adding the promotion code it's free. You are of course obtaining the ticket to travel on a date of your choosing between 20th March - 24th March inclusive.

    It's in the promotions and railcard section when adding date/time preferences. Not at checkout.

    If people are travelling where they are leaving or going to somewhere in zones 1-5 but the other is outside, buy two tickets.

    One that covers the journey inside of zones 1-5 for free and then the other that covers the rest and you can still save money using split tickets.

    Anyone else struggling to get this to work. Tried between university and coventry, both within valid zones, and getting a "Code already used" message. Never used it before though. (Maybe 10,000 have been sold?)

    It does indeed look like there are no more new tickets available under this offer and presumably the 10,000 tickets limit has indeed been reached. So, even though the tickets everyone has are of course valid on dates booked until Friday, I will expire the deal to prevent disappointment when trying to book new tickets.

    I keep getting a promotion conflicted message. I’ve entered CHOOSEDAY stations are Yardley Wood to Dorridge open return and it still doesn’t work?
    Gareth57's avatar
    Gareth57 Author
    That route is valid and the website allows me to purchase an anytime day return ticket under the promotion for the dates valid, next Monday to Friday. (edited)

    The promotion is still working for the dates and station zones within the offer with the addition of the promotion code in capital letters.

    Thank you so much... this is really helpful. Buses are on strike starting this week with no end date. This has saved me £20 to send my kids on the train next week. I'm just hoping there is room on the train if buses are still on strike.

    Sorry, l Wanted to know, Can l Travel at any Time on the Day the Ticket is booked?
    TIA (edited)
    Gareth57's avatar
    Gareth57 Author
    Yes, as it's an Anytime ticket there would be no restrictions such as not travelling before 9.30 a.m. that can apply on other tickets such as off peak ones.

    Getting an error saying promotion code is invalid today . Could it because they have sold the first 10000 tickets ?
