“Banish those boring plans for something much more exciting, with 50% off 500,000 of our cheapest Standard and First Advance tickets.

Just pick a place — anywhere across our east coast route — and travel from 
5 March to 29 June 2018 (some date exclusions apply*).

With an offer this good, there’s never been a better time to plan an adventure… or two… or three… ok, four might be pushing it.”

The terms in my version require booking by 23:59 on 26th February and travel to be on the following dates: 5 March to 29 June inclusive, excluding 29 March-3 April, 4-7 May, 25 May-3 June and all Saturdays and Sundays from 12 May to 24 June 2018 inclusive.

If you have been targeted, it says you need to click through using the specific link in your email, sign into your account and then search – but feel free to try using my link and signing in (it might work?).

50% off is an excellent saving and because you can book multiple times and it applies to all the Virgin East Coast routes, this is a fantastic promo – for those who have been targeted.

With the discount, one way fares between Leeds and London are as little as £8!

Conclusion

With at least 500,000 Advance tickets being made available, I would hope that this Virgin East Coast sale is quite widely targeted. Anybody else got an email yet or had success signing into your account via my link?
