Hello.

I am going to a wedding in Ipswich and i am trying to get cheap tickets.
What i need is 2 single adult tickets from Ipswich to Leagrave(1 stop after Luton) on 30th August leaving between 10 and eleven in the morning.
I tried raileasy but the price has gone from £17 to £38 for that day.
We dont have any railcards.
Thanks.

Try splitting Ipswich - London and London - Leagrave, allowing for the bus/tube transfer

Don't use Raileasy - they charge a booking fee. Any train company site will do.

If it comes to it the bus from London to Luton then local train/bus might save a bit

Hi to all
I have received an appointment for my daughter in London at the national neurological hospital, on the 30 th of June at 2 pm. I have been trying to get the cheapest return ticket and am getting ridiculous prices can anyone help please. We are in chesterfield Derbyshire but can go from Nottingham also, my wife has a disabled rail card (not in a wheelchair) my daughter is 19 plus myself, 3 adults.
Thank you in advance

If Anyone can give a bit more info I would be very grateful
Thank You:j

I am going to London (Kings Cross I have been told is the closest to New Edwardian Providence Wharf) from Aberdeen on 28/29 August (flexible). I think I need a one way as we are then travelling up to Chester on the 1st Sep for 3 nights before returning to Aberdeen. Would like to leave at about 7.30-8.00am from Aberdeen to get into London at a good time.

I have tried several websites going from Abd to Lon at £176, then Lon to Ches £44, then Ches-Abd £248. Can anyone see where I can get this cheaper? It is for two adults, is there a site I am missing? Looked on Trainline and Virgin.

Thanks

i cant seem to find any decent tickets for 4 adults travelling London to Edinburgh July 5th leaving after 3pm and return to london on july 10 leaving edinburgh after 3pm. the cheapest i can find london-EDI is £318 in first class and £510 for the return journey. Help would be apprecited.

thanks all

This fare is fully flexible, available on the day.
It might be worth investigating split ticketing.
Also, consider FGW's '£5 off offer'... can save you £20.

thank you. this is certainly better than what i found and more flexible. I tried splitting in Carlisle and also travelling via leeds and it wasnt much cheaper. Any suggestions? By the way where did you see this price and how do i get it?
