Seeing as those look like 'from' prices, its not a great value offer. You can get APs normally for cheaper than that with RC in some cases. £70 return first though is a good deal for Glasgow!

I got one way Euston to Glasgow in First class for £26 with Railcard back in 2006.

What's the difference between this and an advance first ticket?

Does anyone know the details of this promo? I did a quick search, it seemed to bring up relatively cheap AP FC fares.
