East Midlands Railway is are encouraging Ashfield residents to book ahead on its popular Skegness service. The train operator has released almost 7,000 advance tickets, meaning that passengers travelling from Hucknall, Kirkby in Ashfield or Sutton Parkway can obtain a one-way ticket for just £8.50 instead of the usual £33.50.
EMR says that by booking now, passengers can ensure a cheap trip to the seaside this summer, saying that “customers can get to the Lincolnshire seaside resort for less than the cost of a Full English Breakfast at Wetherspoons or the average cost of fish and chips”.
“Our fares to Skegness make seaside getaways a reality for families on a budget”, EMR’s customer services director Dave Meredith said. “Book in advance and enjoy a few days with a wallet-friendly escape to Skegness [and] spend less than you would on breakfast or a take-away, and make memories by the sea.” Tickets can be purchased on EMR’s website: eastmidlandsrailway.co.uk.
