That's certainly my reading of it, though not come across B1G1 before (reminds me of BOGOF, which to my mind carries a somewhat mixed message!).

The railways' promotional material actually styles it as "2FOR1", which I reckon is preferable over "2-4-1", but then I'm not a great fan of the use of the number 4 to mean 'for', and likewise 2 as a substitute for 'to' - both seem unnecessary and a potential cause of confusion. I appreciate I'm probably on the losing side of the battle with that one!

Of course, one could say that's a bit rich coming from someone with a user name such as mine!
