I need to get Norwich to Wolverhampton/Birmingham leaving on the 28th to attend a funeral.

I only need to travel one way.

I've check the trains and came up with £64 :eek:. I slight play on stations i.e going via london reduces that to around £37+

Is there a cheaper way? Or is there a site that searches for cheap trainfares or alternative routes?

I'm unemployed thats the only reason i'm asking, other i stump up the cash with no question due to the occasion.

    Try this;
    Norwich to London Liverpool St 11:30 £12 Advance Ticket
    London Marylebone to Birmingham Snow Hill 13:50 £10 Advance Ticket
    you will also need to get an Underground ticket
    These are advance tickets so buy them early before they go:j

    EXcel X1 coach service to Peterborough is about £6.50 and a regular 1/2 hourly service not taking too much longer than the train- Not sure about onward travel from there though.
    Praying at the church of MSE should be compulsory!
