There’s a chance to win a ride in the driver’s cab of an Elizabeth line train, as part of a charity raffle for a wide range of railway prizes.
There are just 2,000 tickets being offered, with 23 prizes — so far — so the odds of winning a prize are rather higher than the average raffle. The raffle tickets cost just £10 each, and you have until the end of this month to buy them.
Tickets are on sale from here.
