I wasn't aware of this webpage and thought it might be useful to have as a bookmark.
Limited stations unless you are travelling from London. I usually book through East Midlands as they do not charge a booking fee.

I thought so too but wasn't sure if it was widely known. I usually travel from Sheffield and would advise you to check Megabus web site too as I have travelled, by train, from Sheffield to London for £1 + 50p booking fee, several times in the past.

I have used this site to book 2 train journeys and the prices seemed good to me. There is a link on the site to join a discount shopping site, you can get a months free trial which I did and get £10 for your second train journey booked. Today I received the cheque- only took about a week to come and I sent the info they needed by post.:j
