That’s what I call…enterTRAINment!
- UK’s largest rail company, Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) teams up with regional theatres to encourage customers to support local arts
- New partnership offers limited-edition discount to customers who travel to the theatre by train
September 2021: This autumn, the rail company that operates Southern, Thameslink and Great Northern services, is putting local theatres centre-stage with an exciting new partnership that promises to thoroughly entertrain. Teaming up with top regional theatres across its network, the company is offering customers the chance to claim exclusive discounts on spectacular shows in October and November.
With theatres finally being able to pull up the curtains after more than a year of closure, the rail operator is taking the opportunity to support the arts community and highlight smaller, more independent venues that will really benefit from some extra support.
Working with selected theatres – from Portsmouth, Chichester and Brighton, to Croydon, St Albans and Cambridge – GTR’s #entertrainment campaign offers limited-edition discount on top shows for those who travel by train. As the largest rail operator in the UK, GTR serves 339 stations; meaning customers can truly make the most of a staycation or weekend break when travelling by train.
Steve White, Chief Operating Officer at Govia Thameslink Railway, said: “We’re very lucky to have so many great theatres on our network. After being closed for over a year, this is the perfect time to get behind the arts and enjoy live theatre once again! We’ve partnered with venues that are easily accessible by train and we hope our customers feel inspired to visit somewhere new this autumn whilst enjoying a brilliant show.”
The #entertrainment partnership will be live from October until December. To find out more information and book tickets, visit the following websites:
Each theatre has individual terms and conditions which will be hosted on their own websites. A valid rail ticket must be shown upon arrival at the theatre.
