Yes I know, sorry it's the way I put it. What I meant is that I buy the ticket 'in advance' on the web, as I link it in with other travel arrangements. Saves having to root around for change for the ticket machine on the day!

Apols to anyone I might have mislead. I shouldn't have capitalised the A in advance.

Fair enough

Buy two? Still cheaper.

Why is National Express cheaper? Is it a special offer? If not you ought to be able to find it on the FGW site as well (by asking it in the right way) and I don't think (but ICBW) they have a minimum purchase

edit - got as far as the payment page with a dummy purchase of £1 so looks like they don't

I'm trying to book a train ticket for next month. I've spotted an advance purchase one which is £3.95 available on the National Express website (on the First Great Western website it's £11.80). Obviously I'd like to buy it as soon as possible but National Express are telling me on the website that I have to spend more than £5. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks!

It should be available via any ticket retailer. If you like the WebTIS interface NX use, then do what I do and use Southern or London Midland who use the same interface and do not have a minimum fare.
