Hello, it's Friday the 20th of August and thanks for joining me for the latest on travel

and destinations from the Green List and the travel desk of the Independent.

Today, I'm in Edinburgh on the East Coast mainline, appropriately with news of a seat sale

on LNER, likely moves in the next traffic light announcement.

And another reminder, you don't need a test to leave the UK.

Of course, this podcast is completely free, as is my weekly travel email.

Do feel free to sign up at independent.co.com.uk forward slash newsletters. Well, it's very rare, I'm sorry to say,

that I'm able to bring you good news about what's happening in the world of travel. But this

is most certainly good. The train operator, which runs from London to Yorkshire, North East England and into Scotland,

both to here in Edinburgh, but also up to Aberdeen, Inverness and across to Glasgow,

have come up with a massive promotion.

This is effectively having a flat fare as low as five pounds for the one hour hop from Durham to York, up to 50 pounds for a first class, eight hour experience travelling from beautiful Inverness to London.

It's limited availability, of course, you can only use it in a certain number of days

from the 6th of September to mid-October, and you are going to have to book in advance. Now,

they have got lots and lots of tickets available, but they are understandably being swallowed up pretty

quickly. So if you want to, you can go online and try and find deals, particularly useful

actually for students heading back. London to Leeds, just £10 in standard to Newcastle,

just £ pounds.

You're not going to get any rail car discounts at those sorts of prices.

That's perfectly understandable.

So once again, for travel from the 6th of September to the 15th of October, you don't need any vouchers or anything like that.

Just very simply, go ahead, go online to L-N-E-R. Do not go via third parties such as the train line
