Special 2012 Games rail fares go on sale

London 2012 ticket holders can now take advantage of special rail fares for travelling to next year's Games, thanks to the launch of dedicated web pages.


The National Rail Games Travel site is now selling tickets for travel to and from London and all co-Host Cities.

The new web pages include a lowest fare finder tool that will search for the cheapest ticket available for chosen journeys. The tickets also enable flexible travel, allowing spectators to change the time they return should an event be rescheduled or if they wish to remain longer.

Thousands more rail services have been scheduled for next summer, enabling more than eight million people to get to and from London 2012 venues

Ticketed spectators travelling to events in and around London will receive a free Games Travelcard with their Games event ticket, allowing travel within London zones 1-9 on the day of their event.

In addition, spectators attending events at venues around London namely Eton Dorney, Lee Valley White Water Centre and Hadleigh Farm will be able to use their Games Travelcards on national rail services between London and the recommended stations for these venues.

Rail Minister Theresa Villiers said: 'For millions of people, London 2012 will be the event of their year and our rail network will be on the frontline, carrying the public to where they need to be at the right time.

'I'm pleased the industry has come together to offer some great-value fares with added flexibility and the ability to book a full year in advance. This will help spectators to make the very most of their trip to the Games.'
