Unfortunatly it looks like the saver return @ £104 is your only option now.

If you are looking to travel often then certinally purchase the 16/25 railcard if you qualify for it , Not only does it give a third off it also removes any restrictions on time ( or 95% of them anyway )

There is a smashing link for £10 fares during the October holiday week. Well worth a look.

** long connection time 7hrs+:eek: but best I could do at this short notice.
This split includes a 5-10min walk/free bus across Glasgow from Central to Queen St and you must travel on booked trains.

to Find the £26.50 fare then 'more options' or 'Advance options' and via

If you can't get away on the morning of the 25th then try this option for morning of the 26th.

Lowest I have it down to is £134.20 total for 2 adults. Out am on Friday 7th and back pm Sunday 9th

Anybody get it better? Or am I better waiting for a week or 2 as I notice that there are no return saver tickets etc. on there. Do they get added nearer to the time? What is the optimum time to book?
