Trainline Black Friday: Is there a Railcard deal?Klaus Vedfelt

Trainline has confirmed to Good Housekeeping that there will be no Railcard deal in its Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale for 2023. There is, however, a Trainline sale for you to save on your next rail journey. And if you're after more discounts on travel, you'll want to check out our roundup of Black Friday holiday deals.

What are Trainline's Black Friday deals for 2023?

For 2023, Trainline customers can get 10 per cent off European journeys when they download the Trainline app and apply the code HAPPYTRAVELS at checkout. This means you could save on journeys from London to Paris, Amsterdam to Brussels, London to Amsterdam and more. The offer runs until 10 December 2023.

Trainline also has an SNCF sale for Black Friday 2023. Until 26 November, you can get Standard Class tickets from just £18 and First Class tickets for one pound more. The deal is for SNCF journeys taken between 11 January and 11 February 2024.

TRAINLINE'S BLACK FRIDAY SALE

Last year, the train ticket website's sale took place from 25 to 28 November, offering travellers money off their upcoming commutes and rail holidays.

Part of the top Black Friday holiday deals, the £15 off discount was an excellent way to start a year of saving on train travel with a new Railcard. While a full-priced Railcard still saves you a third off train tickets, there are no additional discounts for 2023.

Trainline's Black Friday Railcard discount could be used on one journey with a range of train companies, from Chiltern Railways to Southern.

Whether you were looking to save on the London to Manchester route, London to Edinburgh, Leeds to Scarborough or London to Brighton, there was a journey for you to experience with last year's Black Friday deal.

What does a Railcard do?

A Railcard offers you a third off train tickets for eligible journeys for one year or three years (where the three-year option is available). There are Railcards for different types of travellers, from families to seniors, and each is priced at £30 for the year or £70 for three years.

  • How the 'Bengaluru dream' turned into a nightmare

    STORY: Nineteen-year-old Kkavya landed in Bengaluru with dreams of getting a degree in English literature and an exciting job at a tech firm.During a job interview, Khavya, who hails from Kashmir, was told she would have amazing job opportunities in India's Silicon Valley.She was sold the "Bengaluru dream.""What was promised to me when I came to work, they were like, 'Listen, the weather is going to be amazing, you're going to get paid, come work for us for seven hours, go home, take a beer, chill, sleep."After three years in the city, the dream is falling apart, and fast.One problem is the traffic."Do you see the horn? Did you hear it? This is my nightmare."As it was transformed into India's tech hub, the city has struggled to keep up with the massive population influx.Kkavya now spends up to five or six hours on her daily commutes.In the 1990s, Bengaluru rapidly became India's answer to Silicon Valley.It attracted millions of workers and the regional headquarters of some of the world's biggest IT companies.But unrestrained urban expansion has affected Bengaluru's character as a liveable city.With the city poised to vote in the second phase of India's national election on Friday (April 26), Kkavya said she felt frustrated to see that these issues are rarely addressed by local politicians and candidates."We are that sad now, we don't even think that this is something politicians can fix, because they never talk about it. Traffic is our problem, roads are our problem, hospital is your problem. So when I tell my boss that I can't reach on time, it's my problem, not the people who made the roads, not the people who are responsible for the traffic."And she struggles every morning to get water for her daily use. Weak southwest monsoon rains last year failed to replenish depleted groundwater causing shortages.This forced residents to ration water use and pay a much higher price.Water rates at her apartment have gone up by almost four times from about $8.40 per month to more than $27. "Water is expensive as it gets. It is something like we fight for, cause I remember, two days back, this building and the next building had a war over one tank. Because there was only one tank available, and we both wanted it, so basically they paid more and they got it."
