Rail travellers could save up to 50 per cent on advance tickets in a sale.
Great Western Railway (GWR) is launching its January sale, offering big discounts on journeys across its network to destinations including Bristol and Bath.
The four-day sale runs from Friday, January 2 to Monday, January 5 and includes 225,000 discounted advance tickets -- 150,000 standard and 75,000 first-class -- for travel between Friday, January 9 and Friday, April 10, 2026.
Tickets can be booked at gwr.com/sale.
Amanda Burns, GWR sales and marketing director, said: "January can feel like the longest month of the year - the decorations come down, the excitement fades, and we're left with the return to routine.
"Our January sale is all about giving you something wonderful to look forward to.
"Whether it's a romantic weekend escape, quality time with family or friends you didn't get to see over Christmas, or simply treating yourself to a change of scenery.
"The GWR network connects you to hundreds of incredible destinations, so why wait for your next adventure?
"Give yourself - and the people you care about - something truly special to look forward to this New Year."
Discounted fares include £22 one-way from London Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads and £38 first-class from London Paddington to Bath Spa.
