Hey guys. Not sure if this is in the right place so feel free to move. I need to find the cheapest method of travel for a return journey from Cardiff to Skegness departing AM Friday December 4th and returning either AM or PM Sunday December 6th. The cheapest I've found so far is £45. Any ideas?!! - Thanks in advance.:confused:
Like what I said? click thanks!:rotfl: :rotfl:

    Well, by train it's a 6 hour journey at best, with 2 changes £76.30.

    EDIT: You might be able to get 2 singles @ £21 each.

    Where did you get £45, is that by coach is it?

    Is car hire an option (assuming you don't already have a car). The petrol alone will cost about £45 in a fuel efficient car, but you can go when and where you want and get there faster and so on.
