On Thurs 26 May only, get 90% off Advance single tickets from Southern
Railway. You can buy tickets for up to 12 weeks ahead (14 August 2011). Plus
Senior, 16-25, Friends & Family, Disabled or HM Forces Railcards can be
used!

Southern has said around 750,000 tickets are available, but they're still
likely to go fast. Be warned, the site may be slow from heavy traffic.

Must be purchased from the Southern website:
http://www.southernrailway.com

They did a similar promotion a couple of years ago.

Note that it's only for Advance tickets on the Southern network, which
aren't available for all journeys/routes.

Also worth noting that you may get better results for journeys to/from
London if you specify "London Victoria" as the destination/origin (rather
than the generic "London").

Plus it's worth bearing in mind the Southern Daysave and Southern Downlander
tickets:

90% ADVANCE TICKET SALE EXTENDED TO MIDNIGHT SUNDAY 29th MAY 2011

Whilst we have sold many Advance tickets at 90% discount today, due to
unprecedented levels of demand on the site, we appreciate that a few
customers will have experienced problems booking the tickets they were
after. As a result we have extended the end of the sale to midnight on
Sunday 29th May 2011, so if the site is busy then please come back and
visit it over the weekend when demand will be lower. There are 750,000
Advance tickets available at the discounted price, so there should be
plenty for everyone.
