Today I noticed a copy of the Daily Mirror for sale with what I presume was the same offer advertised on the front page (£10 for a Northern day ticket, £17.50 for a weekend ticket).

I didn't know the Daily Mirror participated in this offer or even that it was owned by National World or Reach plc. It's not on either of the lists of participating papers on the Northern website. Not sure if it's in the Mirror every day that tokens are on sale or only certain days.

That is very good to hear as it is a lot cheaper than the Hull Daily Mail which is £1.65 for 40pp. Presumably just the Northern edition?

Another vote of thanks for the Daily Mirror tip. Is it known what days the tokens appear?

One time use only, for what it's worth.

Virgin Trains Ticketing are also regularly doing cashback (I've got 8% single-use) through Monzo, and LNER (5% multi-use).

Narrowly missed the Daily Mirror , they'd bundled all the papers up. Anyone have any idea on if there'll be any more tokens published and when? Does it say?

There is a token in today's Daily Mirror. Page 30. Also big article on Labour's rail announcement so I might even read a bit rather than just rip out the token!

It says "1 token" on the token.so I assume it means that rather than "token 1" so that combined with yesterday's I now have enough rather than needing a specific token 2? Is that what they said last time?

I got one today. It says they'll be available until this weekend, so presumably including the Sunday Mirror, whereas for the other participating papers it's until next Friday.

Liverpool Echo had none for last few days of offer last week. Disappointed

LNR have extended the £1 fares on the Marston Vale Line.

Enjoy £1 tickets between Bletchley and Bedford.

Between 19/02/24 – 19/08/24 you can enjoy £1 single tickets (£2 return) between Bletchley and Bedford.

A good incentive to get tourists to use the line in the Summer, as well as continuing to attract locals to use it.

Free travel on Merseyrail, on a Friday - registration and voucher (and ID) required.

Including details of dates:

Merseyrail are partnering with Liverpool BID to offer FREE rail travel on the Merseyrail network every Friday for 6 weeks from 17 May to celebrate their Get That Friday Feeling campaign.
To claim a FREE ticket, simply fill out the form below by 12pm on the Thursday before the Friday date you wish to travel. Tickets will then be emailed that afternoon, to be used the next day only. If you wish to travel more than one Friday during the 6-week period, please ensure you register again by 12pm on the Thursday before.

If you have not received your ticket via email, please ensure you check your junk folder.
And, to clarify (as they do later down the page):

  • A rail travel voucher entitles one person to make one return journey between any origin and end station on the Merseyrail network free of charge.

Offer expired at Midday on Thursday, hence why the page now 404s.
It's supposed to be for 6 Fridays from 17th May. I can understand the form not allowing entry between noon on Thursday and the end of Friday or allowing people to claim a ticket for the following Friday, but hiding the details of the offer seems odd.

Presumably someone agrees - the page is back (with no form).

Re Uber Avios offer - say you spent £10 on a train ticket, £4 of which was paid for with Uber Credit. Would you earn the 10 avios for the full spend, or only 6 avios for the cash portion of the spend please? Thank you
