Cheap rail travel?
Does anyone know of how to get cheaper rail tickets (than advertised on trainline etc). Any promotions on at the moment I haven't heard about? I need to get from Newcastle to Aberdeen in August but don't fancy driving and the only flights seem to be BA (£120+).
Thanks :P

Re: Cheap rail travel?
I got on the old 'dog and phone' and spoke directly to GNER; result - £28 return. It just shows that the net is not always cheapest!

Cheap Train Travel?
I am looking to travel from London to Newcastle in september. I saw they were advertising £20 return but now the best price they have available is £60. Does anyone know of any promo codes, or ways to get cheaper fares?

Re: Cheap Train Travel?
I regularly travel from Birmingham to Newcastle and use qjump to purchase tickets.
Use the site to try several dates and times - you can get better deals if you travel off-peak.

Re: Cheap Train Travel?
Hello, I have booked the cheap fares and the times seem to be : the 11.30am from Kings Cross, then the 10.00pm from Kings Cross and the 18.22 from Durham to Kings Cross, I have successfully booked at 20.00 pounds per person (actually somebody published a pound off voucher code on here, but it expired 31st July) - hope this helps

Free rail travel vouchers (to and from london)
theres a thread in the grab it while u can forum, detailing the free rail travel vouchers that were published in the evening standard, earlier in the week:
http://forum.moneysavingexpert.com/c...num=1091526720
from info in that thread it seems that its ok to print out downloaded versions of the vouchers, so no need to worry if u missed out on buying a copy of the standard

Why would I want to go to Blackburn on News years day? :
We are playing Villa AWAY - hence the ticket purchase to be made from Watford to Brum....
But thanks anyway
