Passengers travelling with First Great Western will be able to get 50 per cent off weekend parking from tomorrow (Sunday) until the end of January.

The discount applies to First Great Western car parks on Saturday and Sundays up until January 26.

It can only be received when drivers pay via the Apcoa Connect Mobile Payment booking system, across the First Great Western network.

The offer excludes Reading Station, where a special £5 a day promotion will run from Friday, December 27 to Wednesday, January 1.

First Great Western managing director Mark Hopwood said: “Ensuring that we continue to put our customers first and help communities to prosper, we hope this reduction will help customers to enjoy a day out, go to sales or take that train journey that they have always dreamed of.”
