Virgin Trains Ticketing is to re-run its Great British Rail Sale, offering discounts of up to 50% on rail fares and extra Virgin Points.
The discounts are available for booking made between Tuesday 23 and Monday 29 January for travel between 30 January and 15 March.
As well as the discounts, passengers will earn Virgin Points on all train tickets booked through rail ticketing app Virgin Trains Ticketing, which was named App of the Year in November's UK eCommerce Awards.
They can then use the Virgin Points to obtain discounts on future rail travel or to spend on rewards on Virgin Red, including hot drinks, cinema tickets, flights and unique experiences.
Under the scheme started last summer, every pound spent earns three Virgin Points, which are credited within seven days.
The app does not charge booking fees, and offers split tickets on selected journeys, which identify the cheapest way to mae a single journey.
Virgin reports that its customers have saved more than £165,000 on train tickets by putting Virgin Points towards their fare, and more than £150,000 with the split ticket feature.

Mark Plowright, Director of Virgin Trains Ticketing, comments: “At Virgin Trains Ticketing we champion consumer-first travel, which is why we're always looking for ways to save train travellers money and give them access to rewards on top. The Great British Rail Sale is a great opportunity for travellers to access cheaper fares and we're pleased that Virgin Trains Ticketing can help customers save even more money with split ticket options, zero booking fees and the chance to use Virgin Points on fares – all while earning Virgin Points for every booking.”
