The ASA blasted Eurostar’s adverts touting tickets “from as little as £29” for failing to state they had to be booked in advance by a minimum of six weeks.
Embattled operator Govia Thameslink Railway, meanwhile, has been told to alter its Gatwick Express ads promoting 30-minute travel from central London to the Sussex hub on the basis too few trains were arriving at Gatwick within the allotted time.
Eurostar said on the date the online ad was seen (January 24), there were 5,070 £29 London-Paris fares for travel between March 6 and June 8, although this was not stated in the ad.
