Sorry, forgot to say, the tip to finding these tickets are by booking singles rather than a return.

It's 12 weeks in advance that I'm trying to book, but still not havingany joy on any dates.... Am I doing something wrong?0 -
Hi All,
New member here, so apologies if this has been asked before....
I will be moving to Chelmsford soon, along with my husband, and will be commuting in from Chelmsford to Liverpool Street every day.
Does anyone have any ways to make this journey any cheaper than the £255 a month I will have to pay?
We currently live in london at the moment and only pay £100 each for a Z1-3 season ticket, but we are making our first steps on the property ladder in Chelmsford, so this is quite a big jump for us.
Thanks in advance0 -

The cheap tickets are only available 12 weeks in advance to 6pm day before, keep checking and make sure it is actually 12 weeks to the day.

Hi All,
Can anyone help me?
I've recently secured a new job at London Victoria and am looking to travel to work by train every week, including some saturdays. Can anyone give me any ideas how i can save money on a Monthly Ticket from either Horsham or Christs Hospital in West Sussex to London Victoria?? I have been quoted £284 or £273 a month, any ideas anyone??
Thanks All :j0 -
Hi everyone,
I need to travel from London to Stafford on 2nd June arriving no later than 1pm, returning to London on 3rd June arriving no later than 10pm.
I have a network railcard, but the cheapest I have managed to find so far is £90.20 for two people. The advanced fares don't seem to be available yet, even though it is less than 12 weeks until the trip.
Does anyone have any tips on making this journey cheaper?
Thanks for any help you can give me!0 -

The £90:20 fare is a standard "walk up" fare available on the day of travel so no point in booking that just now. Sometimes, especially at weekends and due to engineering work, "value" fares aren't released until nearer the departure day, so keep checking and when you see them book them.0
