I am signed up for offers from Arriva Trains and have just received an email from them advertising their Club 55 as being available. However, the days it is available is from September 6th to November 1st, so they are just letting those who have opted to be told about it one and a half months after the offer started and just two weeks before it finishes!  Geeze ... you sometimes wonder at offers that are available but not publicised. Mind you, I recall from summer 2011 getting loads of sh*t from potential customers who had missed our Weymouth Sunday specials because we had only done limited publicity. A number of people took me to one side - not realising that I was the one controlling how much we advertised, and told me what our poor job our publicity person had done ... odd feeling was that. Funny thing though - the trains were at maximum length (and longer!) and packed to full, standing, and uncomfortable every Sunday; the decision to limit promotion was done to limit demand to supply. Perhaps the same thing in Wales? Busy trains until now, but they're a bit quieter as we draw into autumn to more publicity works. Just a thought? Reminds me to tell members I saw Club 50 advertised in Scottish trains last week https://www.scotrail.co.uk/offers/club50Club 50

From experience of using the Newport to Holyhead line now and again, it is usually busier during half term, i.e. next week, than in preceding weeks.

From the T&Cs "You may be asked to show proof of age" That would cheer me up so much.  |

Have just checked my emails from ATW. I have received one other since the offer started, on Sept 17th, but it made no mention of Club 55. It seems odd if they are only sending publicity about the offer to certain selected individuals. We have a friend traveling from Anglesey to visit us today. Had she known of the offer (I would have told her if I had known) she could have saved about £40 on her tickets. |

I've seen leaflets at Cardiff Central & a poster a couple of weeks ago too, so it sound as though marketing has been patchy. Always worth checking websites at Club 55-times-pf-year-though

Is that the grown up version of Britvic 55, or Club 18-30?

Given my comments late last year, for the record I did receive an email from Arriva Wales about this this time, which I'm very pleased about as we want to make use of it in February. |

Do anyone have a link for this? Don't know anything about it but if 55 refers to the minimum qualifying years then I should be able to produce the proof of age that will undoubtedly be asked of me!
