Money guru Martin Lewis warns those travelling via train this Christmas to keep an eye out for the cheapest rail tickets.
Train-ing home for Christmas? Yep, we said it, the C-word. While it might still feel like summer outside, with fine, sunny and settled weather for the UK this week, Christmas is less than 100 days away. And if there’s one thing you should get organised early, it’s Christmas travel. Millions of Brits take to the railways in the days leading up to the big day, with the most popular day for travel usually being the last Friday before Christmas.
’ Contractually, Network Rail are obliged to have the timetables set this far in advance, and as a result, firms usually release the tickets shortly after. The busiest time for Christmas travel usually falls on the weekend before December 25, which this year, will begin on Friday December 20. Count back on your calendars, and 12 weeks prior to this, is Friday September 27. Keep checking back each day as more tickets are released, and you’ll be one of the first to bag the cheapest tickets.
