Train Fare - THE CHALLANGE

I have a challange for all, if anybody has the time (As it's driving me mad)

I want the best price for:

Wakefield Westage/Leeds - London (9oct)Morning
Comming back (12oct)Night

If anybody would like to be a miricale worker that would be nice.

for 2 adults both with 16-25 rail card
I get what i want. That isn't because i'm a brat or spoilt. It's because i'm determined, i work hard for it and i achieve my goals!

    These are from the NXEC website, the return part is easy, lots of £17.20 Advance Singles starting from 19:33

    Now the Out part, £43.40 Advance Single is the best for the morning, but if you travel on a train arriving into London at 13:10 then that price drops to £24.70

    A flexible super saver return is only £55.45 (each) with railcard. This arrives you to arrive in Kings Cross any time from 11:17, and leave between 09:29 and 14:57 or after 18:59 (return has to be within one month).
  • the best price i have so far is £38.60 (there and back) just woundered if i could slim it down a bit

    If that's for both of you then I doubt if you will get it cheaper other than slightly if you choose different dates.

    If it is each - see moonrakerz post above. You should be able to get those same fares with 10% off on the national express east coast site though

    If the trains your travelling on are run by National Express and you buy thru the NXEC website you get a 10% discount on their advance tickets.
