The long-standing SmartGo offer on annual season tickets with East Midlands Railway is changing...
De Montfort University in Leicester are one of SmartGo's longest-serving members. Throughout the years, they have seen the strength of the SmartGo offers grow significantly as it has expanded far beyond its original concept. Here, Karl Letten, the Environmental & Sustainability Officer, explains how SmartGo membership helps the University encourage the use of more environmentally-friendly transport among its staff.
The new SmartGo offer in Milton Keynes enables new rail users to save 90% on their first monthly season ticket. Thereafter, they and other existing customers can save 10% on monthly and annual season tickets. Depending on where you travel from, you could save over £500 a year!
As a long-time member of SmartGo, Leicester College staff have made hundreds of savings on their commute over the years. Group Travel Coordinator, Wendy Fearn, explains how it's benefited the organisation and enabled more employees to take up sustainable transport.
