East Midlands Railway (EMR) has launched a new corporate season ticket offering, which could save businesses using its services thousands of pounds a year.
The tickets allow business employees to purchase a flexi, monthly, or annual season tickets to travel to and from work, with discounts of up to 10 per cent available for annual season tickets on specific EMR routes.
These include:
Flexi Season Tickets – A flexi season ticket allows eight return journeys between the origin and destination station within 28 days.
Monthly Season Ticket – A monthly season ticket lets the customer travel between selected stations as many times as they require, for a month.
Annual Season Ticket – An annual season ticket lets the customer travel between their origin and destination station at any time, on any day of the week for a year at the cost of only 40 weeks.
Season tickets will be issued on smart cards, reducing the number of single-use paper tickets.
