Use the National Express East Coast site to book your tickets and get 10% off their advance fares which go via London.

Investigate split ticketing and routes via Birmingham/Reading (I don't know if this is cheaper, but it probably takes longer).

If the outward journeys are made in the morning peak a season ticket is usually cheaper than the equivalent day tickets.

Hi everyone,

Im looking for a cheap train from Cardiff Central to Leeds and Back. Departing October 10th 2008, returning October 12th 2008. Best price I've had so far is £37, thats from thetrainline.com buying 2 singles.

Many thanks

£37 is a good price, but don't buy from thetrainline.com.
Almost anywhere else will be cheaper... no card fees, no post fees, no collect at station fees, etc, etc.

Hi could anyone let me know of any cheap train fares from Swansea to Nottingham? Or any other ways to reduce the fare as I will be making this journey a few times over the next couple of months. Thanks

You go onto a rail website and look for them. Advance purchase singles are the way to go if you can get them.

If you have trouble post here with specific dates and you'll get help

Is it cheaper to buy a weekly or a monthly ticket?

Thank you.
