CrossCountry is offering free Standard travel for Flybe customers on all its services across the UK, following news that the airline has gone into administration.
The train company, which runs services from Aberdeen to Penzance, has also extended this to Flybe employees.
Flybe customers simply have to show their booking confirmation or e-ticket on any CrossCountry service. Meanwhile FlyBe employees will be able to travel by showing their staff ID.
The offer extends is valid from Thursday 5 March for the next week.
Ben Simkin, Commercial Director at CrossCountry said: “The next few days are likely to be stressful for many Flybe travellers whose travel plans have been affected as a result of today’s news. As one of the largest train operators in the UK, we can play a role in helping their customers and employees get from A to B, which is why we’ve taken the decision to waiver standard fares across the network.”
