    Signing up for the alerts if a fantastic idea! Yes, I'd concluded the travelodge is my cheapest option if we do an overnight. If I can get the train tickets this cheap,I can afford to stop over - all looking very good! Thank you!


    Blow your savings on a night in the Balmoral.....;)
  • Ha, sounds like the Balmoral is lush?! Is it 'moneysaving'?!

    Just looked - £170 room only!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!
  • Now it's coming up cheaper on National Rail search than NXEC??? NXEC says £12-£115, but there are no £12 fares. So, do I need to just be patient, or are all the fares launched at the same time? Sorry to be a pain guys!

    On the NXCE site where it tells you to register it also gives you the date that you can book up to
    At the moment it`s the 20th March,this will change either tomorrow or Monday to 27th March.
    Then you can make your booking.
    The very lowest you can expect is £12 single.

    Tickets for travel between 21st March and 27th March were released this morning. Cheapest ticket now is £14.70. I think £12 was last year's cheapest fare - fares went up beginning of this month.
    Did you really mean to put loose?
    Lose: no longer possess, not to retain, unable to find
    Loose: not firmly or tightly fixed in place

    I usually go from Peterborough and I noticed the fares had gone up from
    £12-50 to £13-80 single
  • Just booked it online, apparently they post the tickets to you? under £30 for London to Edinburgh return journey - can't believe it! So glad I asked and didn't pay £110 each!!!!

    Thanks again for all your help everyone - oh, cheap 1 night accommodation now??? Travelodge me thinks!

    Thank you!

    If you selected the post option, they send out the tickets by First Class post - normally very good service from NXEC.

    It is amazing how much money you can save buying online in advance - with my railcard discount, I paid £4 return to go to London (instead of usual £20).
