Hi, the cheapest fare you can get is £5 per person one way. But these cheap Advance single have only been released up to the 20th Aug at the moment, Virgin trains normally release their cheap tickets on Thrusday/Friday for a week at a time. So best to keep checking or use this website to help;

Forgot this;
aswell as searching Birmingham New St to London Euston try
Birmingham Moor St to London Marylebone, takes a bit longer but the cheap advance singles are the same price.

Well it might be - you'll have to look.

Remember it's bank holiday weeked therefore the cheapest band of advance fares may not be available.

Chilterns's advance tickets are not on sale yet - you have to buy them on their website. But note they have a walk on fare of £19.50 return - super-off peak. This can be cheaper than advance tickets.
