'Free' Megabus one-way tickets (50p fee)*
Great Britain services from 9 Jan-9 Feb. Tickets released daily

20,000 avail


Budget coach travel provider Megabus* is offering 20,000 'free' one-way tickets on 90+ routes across England, Scotland and Wales for travel between Mon 9 Jan and Thu 9 Feb. You'll just need to p*y a 50p booking fee per transaction, not per ticket.

Megabus says there are ‘free’ seats randomly spread across all of its services (excluding journeys between Oxford and Cambridge and between Hull and Leeds), seven days a week, so it will involve a bit of trial and error to find the ‘free’ fares.

How to find the 'free' seats

Tickets are released 60 days before travel (regardless if you're booking or travelling on a weekend). As the ‘free’ tickets on popular routes are likely to be snapped up within hours of release, you’ll have to be quick off the mark and be flexible on times and dates to bag a 'free' fare.

After you've selected your route and travel dates, any coach with 'free' tickets available will show the price as '£0.00' (see image). For return trips, Megabus tickets are booked as two singles – if you're lucky, you could find a 'free' seat for both legs of your journey.

While 20,000 tickets sounds a lot, they can still take some finding as services will have a different number of 'free' seats available. Megabus says the tickets are released in batches of at least 550 every day, so if you can't find a 'free' ticket one day, don't give up, as one might appear later in the promo.When we checked a few routes on Mon 28 Nov, we found these 'free' fares:
•London Victoria to Bristol, departing at 10am on Thu 11 Jan
•Cardiff to Birmingham, departing at 6.35am on Tue 24 Jan
•Newcastle to Edinburgh, departing at 4pm on Fri 27 Jan

If you can't find any 'free' seats, most routes start from £1, plus the 50p booking fee, but can cost a lot more depending on the route and when you're booking.

10% off one-year Railcards code*
Incl 16-25, Family & Friends, Two Together & Senior Railcards

7 days left


MSE Update Wed 4 Jan, 10.11am: There was an issue with the code where it was taking £10 off railcards instead of 10%. This has now been rectified by National Railcards.

We often see individual railcards discounted, but this 10% off code includes all four of the big national railcards. These cards get you one-third off most rail fares and are normally £30, but until 11.59pm on Wed 11 Jan, enter the code JANMS17 online at National Railcards* and you'll p*y just £27.

That means if you spend over £82 on eligible train fares in a year (on most trains, see restrictions below), even if it's on one journey, then it's worth getting one as the savings beat the cost of the card.

Which railcards are available?
•16-25 Railcard* - This is for 16 to 25-year-olds or a mature student aged 26 or over in full-time education.
•Family & Friends Railcard* - Up to two adults can be named on the card, then as long as one of you is travelling, up to four adults get a third off, providing there is at least one child (and up to four) travelling with you – kids then get 60% off.
•Two Together Railcard* - Two of you get a joint card, with both your photos on it (you'll need to upload these when you order the card). You must travel together but you can have more than one card, eg, one with your spouse and one with a friend you go to football with.
•Senior Railcard* - If you're 60 or over then you can get this card.
