Thanks for posting, Woody!  Purely for ease of reference, I've merged a few previous topics, on this particular subject of the 'Club 55' offer, with this one - just so we can compare the terms of the deal in previous years! CfN.    |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

They're now available on Scotrail - details at http://www.scotrail.co.uk/club55. And in the text, at the bottom, it says Due to its success in Scotland, this year Club 55 promotions will also be available across England and Wales by FirstGroup^s train operating companies.
This Club 55 offer is slightly different to the Scottish offer- it will have travel zones ^ with tickets starting from ^15 return and then ^10 for each extra zone. More details about the England and Wales offer will be available from this page shortly.

Whilst Club 55 is a way to bring in Extra fares during the quieter months, I feel the pensioners win with Club 55 and pensioners come in 2 basic groups, those who struggle on a pitful state pension, and those who have it made, having a Holiday, often abroad every 2 or 3 months and bags of cash. Don't beleive it, now the School Kids are back in their prison, just look how many grumpy old gits are heading off on Holiday on FGW▸ trains to Devon & Cornwall
What really is needed is CLUB 20-35 and mortgaged to the EYE BALLS

My understanding is that FGW▸ will be offering Club 55 from September 20th. Eyes are peeled on behalf of our more wiser pax!
