a word of warning, I used the MSE link for no booking fees for raileasy (booking tickets to/from London International otherwise I wouldnt) and it adds on a £2.50 booking fee (supposed to be 0 fees via MSE link) and £1.50 postage (advertised as free, collect from station free)

UPDATE - seems the minimum ticket cost is £10 for no booking fee, my original ticket was £7.50, i just added some extra journeys i am making anyway. it still wanted to charge for postage regardless

I usually try to book through Southern Railway .

Not only is there no booking fee, there is no credit card fee.
There is also free collect at station or free first class postage if you prefer, and leave enough time.

A big plus is their money back guarantee , which applies to most tickets.
