PRESS readers can soon let the train take the strain all the way to London - for the bargain price of £16 return.

Start collecting tokens from Saturday, December 2, and up to four people can travel from York for less than the price of a Hornby train set.

We've teamed up with GNER to offer ticket prices as low as £16 return to London, Edinburgh, Glasgow or Berwick upon Tweed, £20 return to Dundee, Aberdeen or Inverness or £12 return to Newcastle or Durham.

All you have to do is collect eight tokens for travel on a range of dates in January, February and March next year, subject to availability.

The Press promotions executive Natalie Martin said: "This is a fantastic opportunity for people to have a post-Christmas break - and to enjoy some sales shopping in a different city."

Terms and conditions do apply, so make sure you check out The Press on December 2 for more information.
