GWR launches “long weekend” train tickets

A new type of train ticket has been launched by Great Western Railway (GWR) in an experiment to see if it’s popular, offering a discounted rate for long weekends away from London.
In post-pandemic times, Sundays have become particularly busy on the railways, so, to free up services on that day, customers using the Long Weekender tickets will depart at any time on a Friday or Saturday, and return at any time on a Monday.The Long Weekender will be initially trialled on routes from London Pad
