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.

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).
