THAT LINK COULD HAVE JUST BE POSTED ON HERE
BY A SCAM ARTIST

My tickets have now arrived - no scams here!

Please could someone else post when your tickets arrive too... I don't particularly like being pointed out as a scamster!

Good point though about trust & worth noting generally, I guess.

Thanks

Can anyone post EXACTLY when it tells you the discount has been taken off? I got almost right to the end, there was a box called "discount code" or something that was pre-filled in with "first50". On the very next page after that was the form for credit card input - but the amount was still the full amount. Didn't want to click through that as well then find I paid full whack.

I do understand the offer is only for some types of saver tickets, but how the *&^% do you tell what kind of ticket it thinks it is selling you? It just asked me to specify train times and so on, nothing about what flavour of ticket I was getting. I don't care whether it is supersaver or digital stereo so long as it is CHEAP, to be honest their site was winding me up.

BTW do not bother phoning their help desk, I got a lady in another country whose answer to all my questions was "ah the internet is busy right now, try again later."

thanks very much for this, just booked it and it worked fine, saver return from nottingham to kent and back for £15.13

also remember even though it doesnt let you select dates after 3rd of jan if you buy a saver return then you have 1 month from the start of the journey to return, u just say the return will be on 3rd jan but it doesnt actually have to be, as long as its within 1 month from the outbound journey date

Thank you sawanderer, I failed to do the ticket type selector properly. It is quite tricky with similar sounding ticket names e.g. Special Saver, Saver Special, bleh...

2 Adults 2 kids Bracknell-Bristol return all for 29 quid, not bad I must say.

Thanks!
Just got train tickets to get to a christmas party at my former uni, less money than the petrol would cost and better for the enviroment too!
