Cheap train to London..HELP!

chokolat2

Hello everyone.
Anyone know of any good websites where I can book cheap train tickets to London?
I know there is an alternative by bus..but its going to take forever...4 hours...:o so prefer to go by train.

Or maybe there are some promotional deals/codes fo Virgin trains?

Thanks everyone:j

thetrainline, play around with the time you leave as after certain times the tickets are cheaper and look at two singles

I've just booked a single ticket to London from Liverpool in May for £8!! That was direct with Virgin trains...

I got mine at Megabus. They offer buses and trains. You have to select the time you go and return and have to stick to it but is very good value. I managed to get 2x returns (leaving and returning on different days) for £28.

The prices you get are exactly the same as if you book with one of the train operating companies but with the added 'bonus' of charging you a credit card fee - the train companies do not charge such a fee.

No they are not - they charge extra for tickets and for CC use. Follow the advice in http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/travel/cheap-train-tickets
