Hull Trains is encouraging familie s from South Yorkshire and North Nottinghamshire to take advantage of two great offers, perfect for parents who feel they are running out of ideas to keep the tribe occupied during the last few weeks of the Summer holidays. Following great demand for similar offers in previous years, Hull Trains have introduced two special ‘Family Fare’ offer s for great days out in Hull and London. With 6 direct weekday services direct from Retford and Doncaster, it has never been easier to get away for the day, or even a little longer, with Hull Trains.

The ‘Family Fares’ offer great value for money along with the same outstanding Hull Trains service. These offers do not just include fantastic deals on travel; Hull Trains are also taking the hassle out of your trip by including some great extras to make your day out even more special.

The first offer is a fantastic family deal to sample some hidden gems at the end of the line in Hull. Hull Trains are encouraging families to take advantage of the Family Fare to Hull, which includes entry into one of Hull’s premier tourist attractions, The Deep, the world’s only Submarium, where you can enjoy an exciting underwater adventure. For just £69 return, a family of four can find out just how much there is to do in Hull, with a wealth of museums, shops and much more. Hull Trains want familie s from the area to explore this city that really is just on your doorstep but is often overlooked as the first choice for a day out.

Hull Trains’ managing Director Mark Leving explains: “Hull really is a city on the move and more and more people are seeing what it has to offer in terms of culture, entertainment and lifestyle. What we are trying to do is to encourage people from the area to take advantage of a great city that we are able to bring closer than ever before thanks to our direct service, now made even faster and more luxurious with our new fleet of “Pioneer” trains.”

The second offer is a terrific deal for a family of four to travel to London for as little as £89 return. To help families make the most of their time in our vibrant capital, they will be given a complimentary London guide, detailing the best in entertainment, shops and eating out. Each family will also be provided with a £5 voucher to use the our on-board Retreat Café bar –which stocks a great range of tasty snacks and refreshing drinks to set you up for your big day out.

Mark Leving continued: “A day out in London can be an unforgettable and exciting family experience and I would encourage anyone to take advantage of our “family fare” to London before the end of our fantastic offer.”
