Warwick commuters will be able to travel to London from as little as £3.20 as Chiltern Railways slashes the price of 50,000 seats.

The operator has announced a 50 per cent cut in fares for customers in the West Midlands as part of its January Seat Sale.

Tickets can be purchased until Monday, February 6 and include journeys between Tuesday 17 January and Tuesday 14 March.

This discounted fare is applicable for journeys between London and stations such as Birmingham Moor Steet, Solihull, Leamington Spa, Warwick and Banbury in both directions.

Half-price fares for advance tickets have now gone live.

The offer also boasts advance tickets between Oxford and London for only £2.70 one-way.

However, there are a handful of dates excluded during this time due to engineering works and major events taking place at Wembley Stadium.

No railcards can be used in conjunction with the offer, and in the event of industrial action, some journeys may also be removed and subject to change.

Eleni Jordan, commercial & customer strategy director, said: "We want to welcome back customers, both loyal and new, to the Chiltern network this year with the great offer of 50,000 discounted fares. We are thrilled to be able to offer the communities we serve the chance to travel with us at such a low-cost.

"Customers should book quickly to secure their ticket on the Chiltern Railways app, as when the 50,000 bargain seats are gone – they're gone!"

Advance tickets are only valid for the day and travel time shown, and can be purchased through the Chiltern Railways website (www.chilternrailways.co.uk) or app.
