CALLING LONDON VICTORIAS!
Singing Mexican wrestler, and the face of Southern Railway, Loco Toledo is searching London for love – but there’s one catch – she must be called Victoria.
Southern is helping Loco find his Victoria by offering anyone named Victoria a free off-peak day ticket for unlimited day travel on the Southern network with a new campaign by VCCP.
If your name is Victoria come along to Victoria Station at 10am on Wednesday 4th August to say “hola” to Loco and collect your free tickets. And you never know, maybe it’ll be love at first sight!
Loco said “I love Victoria station because it’s the home of Southern and all the lovely trains. I want love with a lady called Victoria too – are you her?”
As well as hoping to find his love at Victoria Station, Loco is also planning to host a series of events towards the end of August. Why not come along and travel on Loco’s Lover Train carriage on selected routes on the Southern network. Keep checking Loco’s Facebook page for more details.
If your name is not Victoria don’t worry, you can still come down to join in the fun and receive free gifts. Loco’s Amigos from Southern Railway will be at Victoria Station from the 4th-10th August fro 7am-7pm Monday-Friday and 10am-4pm Saturday and Sunday.
It’s easy for Victoria’s to claim their free ticket:
1. Simply ‘like’ Loco Toledo on Facebook
2. Print especial voucher
3. Take voucher and photo ID proving Victoria is your real name to Loco’s amigos at London Victoria station
