Commuters could get free bacon sandwiches and coffees as part of a rail industry charm offensive to encourage Britons back onto trains.
The free breakfast food and hot drinks from Greggs are among the perks in a new rewards scheme for train commuters, industry body the Rail Delivery Group (RDG) announced.
Other benefits will include free audiobooks, access to a mindfulness app, and coffees from cafe chain Pure.
However, the number of bacon rolls will be limited to just 1,000.
RDG chief executive Jacqueline Starr said: "Taking the train is more than just a journey, it benefits the environment, economy and local businesses.”
To get the deals, commuters will have to register at nationalrail.co.uk/commuter and enter details of their commute. They are not required to provide evidence of their journeys.
The move comes as office workers are returning to the workplace after Boris Johnson dropped formal advice to work from home last week.
However, passenger numbers are still currently around 50 per cent of pre-pandemic levels, according to provisional Department for Transport figures.
Pure boss Spencer Craig said: "Like most businesses that rely on the commuter market, we saw our customer base drop by over 50 per cent due to the work-from-home restrictions coming into force, and rail commuters no longer coming into the city.”
Demand for peak trains has increased by just five per cent since the work from home guidance was ditched.
Other incentives to encourage commuting include the introduction of flexible season tickets, and an easing of the rules for amending tickets.
