\n South Western Railway (SWR) is offering journeys to more than 100 destinations for as little as \u00a36 each way as part of its May Rail Sale, which runs from May 8 to 18.\n<\/p>\n
\n SWR operates daily services between Exeter, East Devon, and London Waterloo.\n<\/p>\n
\n The discounted tickets cover travel between May 23 and 31, including the half-term period and May bank holiday.\n<\/p>\n
\n Matthew Winnie, chief customer and commercial officer at South Western Railway, said: “Our first-ever big May Rail Sale is all about helping customers enjoy great value days out and short breaks across the SWR network during the half-term and May bank holiday period.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Whether it\u2019s a seaside escape, a cultural city break or a countryside adventure, there are so many fantastic destinations that can be reached easily, affordably and sustainably by rail.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Travellers can reach Exeter for \u00a312 each way, while London journeys are also included, with the London Eye, South Bank and The Shard all just a short walk from Waterloo station.\n<\/p>\n
\n Other discounted destinations include Southampton, Winchester, Bournemouth, Salisbury, Weymouth, Poole, Alton, and Brockenhurst.\n<\/p>\n
\n The offer comes as new research from SWR shows a growing preference for affordable UK holidays, with more than a third of people choosing UK breaks based on cost.\n<\/p>\n
\n Just over a quarter said they would consider swapping one holiday abroad for multiple shorter trips within the UK.\n<\/p>\n
\n Family-friendly activities topped the list of priorities for day trips, with 57 per cent of respondents highlighting them as most important.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"South Western Railway (SWR) is offering journeys to more than 100 destinations for as little as \u00a36 each…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":946155,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7757],"tags":[748,393,4884,257,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-946154","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-london","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-london","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116539219930590108","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/946154","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=946154"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/946154\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/946155"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=946154"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=946154"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=946154"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
