Any train promotion codes out there?

I found them quite easily, thanks to your help, and it's great to know that that price is valid till we go. You've been really helpful, thanks! Off to order my railcard now.....

Hello

I need to get to Inverness from London for Christmas. Looking to travel on 23rd Dec and return anytime from 27th - 28th or open return. One of us has a young persons railcard. The cheapest I can find it trainline with £207 return for both tickets. Does anyone know of a cheaper fare? I would very much appreciate it if you do!

Thank you

Sally

Just had a look on the NXEC website and the cheapest at the moment is £126 Return 23 Dec back 27/28 Dec
2x Adults 1 with YP RC (£45.65 Virgin Advance Single and £81.25 NXEC Advance Single) but the Virgin West Coast Advance tickets are not out yet for after Xmas day. If you can wait a bit longer you could get 2x £45.65 Advance Singles, this is a bit of a gamble as advance tickets over Xmas do and will sellout quick, I'll leave you to make that choice.

And please don't buy from trainline.com as they charge you fees, use a Train companies website any will do.

**Late Edit** Another option if your stuggling with timing once Virgin release their Cheap advance tickets, is in the advance options or more options of your train search engine put 'via Glasgow' which, however,does mean a 10min walk/ Free bus from Glasgow Central to Glasgow Queens St
