West Midlands Railway offers students season ticket discounts
Transport bosses in the West Midlands has launched discounts on season tickets to help students as they return to school, college or university.
West Midlands Railway has launched a 50 per cent off season ticket for those aged 16 or over – and 25 per cent off for students aged 15 or under.
It comes after the service launched an improved timetable last weekend to help services return to near pre-coronavirus levels.
Jonny Wiseman, head of customer experience at West Midlands Railway, said: "Coronavirus has had a significant impact on our lives and we understand that many parents will be anxious about sending their kids back to school.
Covid-19 coverage:
"We also know that the pandemic has affected the finances of families across the region so we wanted to offer a helping hand with two generous discounts on our student season tickets.
"In addition to the special offers, we have also introduced extra measures to help support social distancing and stepped up our cleaning, to help our customers adjust to the new way of travelling."
