SOME of the train companies have the release dates on their website, but there is a central record to be found at http://www.atoctravelagents.org/ - look for the booking horizons link. It can be a bit out of date as it's only updated once a week, but it's a good guide.

Better website for all the latest Advance Ticket release updated every day!

Your a bit early at the moment the advance cheap tickets are only upto around the 13th of January.

As you will most probably travel by Virgin Trains, use this web page when the dates you want to travel turn green, then search for cheap tickets. You also only want cheap ADVANCE singles there and back. £8 is the cheapest ticket one way you can get unless you do the 'print @ home' or 'send direct to mobile' ticket

Thank you so much for this tip, I've just booked a surprise trip for my wife to London for New Years Eve for £32 return total for the two of us!! Now all I need is a good deal on a hotel!? :T

Wow!! That sounds expensive... if you only live a few miles out of London.

On the other hand...

Try this;
Doncaster to Norwich 29th 18:35 £12.50 Advance Single
Norwich to Doncaster 1st 12:57 £17 Advance Single

Total:£29.50 :T

Buy Early as these are advance tickets and might sell out

Right the cheapest I can get it down to is £15.25 each one way, however, the train leaves Leeds at 08:40 and arrives at 12:08 (thats the earliest cheap train from Leeds) and the cheap tickets for the East coast main line havn't been released for 1st Feb.

Use this Website to see when the Cheap ticket are available, watch National Express East Coast;

Other considerations could be coach or flying
