Escape for less with the Virgin Trains Summer Seat Sale

• 700,000 discounted seats up for grabs across First and Standard Class

This summer, bargain hunting customers will once again see the arrival of the much-anticipated Virgin Trains three-day Summer Seat Sale. From Tuesday 5th July to Thursday 7th July, prices on First and Standard class seats will be slashed on the rail operator’s West Coast route.

With huge discounts for travel betweenSaturday 23^rd July and Sunday 4^th September, there’s never been a better time to take the train for a classic British holiday – particularly with the pound at thirty-year lows, making trips abroad more expensive. Escape for less in style and comfort, whether it’s to Wales and the seaside, Penrith and the Lakes, to visit family and friends, or to explore some of Britain’s greatest cities.

Discounted fares include the below Advance Single tickets:

• London to Manchester/ Standard Class; originally £21, now £10
• London to Liverpool Standard Class; originally £16, now £10
• London to Birmingham Standard Class; originally £8, now £4
• London to Glasgow Standard Class; originally £30, now £14
• London to Manchester/Liverpool First Class; originally £42, now £30
• London to Birmingham Standard Class; originally £25.50, now £17
• London to Glasgow Standard Class; originally £55, now £35

To celebrate its Summer Seat Sale and bring a taste of the British summer to its customers’ journeys, Virgin Trains will be installing a giant flower wall of red peonies and sweet williams at Birmingham New Street station. Virgin Trains will be running a competition to find the best selfie taken against the flower wall with the chance of winning a Family Ticket. To enter, people simply need to take a selfie with the flower wall, tagging @VirginTrains and use the #summerseatsale.

Anita Brown, Customer Experience Manager, said:

“Summer is the perfect opportunity to get away and spend time with family and friends. At Virgin Trains we take pride in providing our customers with the best travel experience possible, travelling to their destination in both speed and comfort.
