Virgin Trains East Coast has just launched a sale on all of its routes, with one way prices from just £5 (or £20 in First Class).

To benefit, you need to book before 23:59 on Friday 25 November 2016 at the dedicated sale page here, or on www.trainline.com.

The sale prices apply to travel between 4 January to 10 February 2017, excluding 4 and 5 February (inclusive).

So what’s available?

The headline one-way prices are as follows:

• London to Leeds at £5 (£20 First Class)
• York to Edinburgh at £10 (£25 First Class)
• Edinburgh to London at £15 (£30 First Class)

Other excellent value fares include:

• Peterborough to York at £5 (£20 First Class)
• London to Newcastle at £10 (£25 First Class)
• Edinburgh to Grantham at £15 (£30 First Class)
• London to Aberdeen/Inverness  at £20 (£40 First Class)

Is it worth paying the extra for First Class?

If it’s available, I would say definitely.

Note that no other offers or discounts can be applied to the Virgin Trains sale fares, including Railcards and eVouchers. At these prices, that’s fair enough.
