Travelling in large groups
If you’re travelling in a group of 10 or more you can book your journey directly through our Group Bookings team. This will save you time and money as we offer a discounted rate when travelling together. To make a new enquiry please complete the online booking form below.
If there are less than 10 people travelling, please book your tickets directly using our GroupSave offer.
Big groups of 10 or more people can make excellent savings on our Standard fare, with up to 1/3rd off our Adult ticket price. Children under 16 can also travel for £2 or less on the c2c route (£2 promotional rate applies to bookings made at least 21 days in advance of the intended travel date). Please note that during the months of June/July, the child rate is £4.
We encourage you to book your trip with us as early as possible so we can help you book the train you want.
The latest that group bookings can be taken and confirmed is ten working days before you wish to travel – and the whole group must travel together for the entire journey. For large groups (of 50 or more), we ask that travel is booked at least three weeks in advance; this gives us time to make arrangements to accommodate your group smoothly. During peak periods, there may be a response time of up to 7 working days.
