The sale comes after a national survey revealed most train passengers feel they’re being ripped off when it comes to ticket prices.
It found that only 47 per cent are satisfied with the value for money of their fares.
But on mainline Southeastern services between London and Kent satisfaction plummeted to just 33 per cent compared to a peak of 87 per cent on Grand Central’s London to Bradford trains.
The Transport Focus spring survey of 27,290 passengers recorded a “fragile” recovery in passenger confidence with overall satisfaction across the country at 83 per cent - up three percentage points on spring last year.
The companies with the highest overall satisfaction scores were Hull Trains (97 per cent); Heathrow Express (97 per cent); Grand Central (94 per cent); Merseyrail (94 per cent); Chiltern (92 per cent); and Virgin Trains (West Coast) (92 per cent).
