Virgin Trains’ Spring Seat Sale is set to put a spring in passengers’ steps up and down the country this March, with tickets starting from just £5.

From Thursday 15th March to Monday 19th March, Virgin Trains on the West Coast will slash the price of over half a million First and Standard Class tickets. Passengers can make the most of the new season and book sale tickets for travel between Tuesday 3rd April and Friday 1st June, with many destinations available for better than half price.

Whether travelling to London to celebrate the much-anticipated Royal Wedding, satisfying those chocolate cravings at Cadbury World in Birmingham, or enjoying the action at Manchester’s Great City Games, Virgin Trains passengers will see their money travel further without compromising on style and comfort.

Discounted fares are available on First and Standard Class Advanced tickets, and include:

• London to Manchester Standard Class: originally £23, now £11
• London to Glasgow Standard Class: originally £30, now £18
• London to Birmingham Standard Class, originally £8, now £5
• London to Manchester First Class: originally £45, now £30

• London to Birmingham First Class: originally £27, now £17
