It would really really help if we knew where you were travelling from. And to, come to that - you might not need separate tube tickets from some places.

A groupsave for 4 of you (£55 total) and an off peak travelcard from Leamington for the 5th (£32), plus 4 zone 1-2 travelcards @£5.60 a head when you get to London (the 5th is covered by the travelcard from Leamington) is probably it. You don't need to book - buy on the day

(Groupsave is not available on travelcards hence the need to split things)


You could have a look at the advance fares - follow the 'barcode'link from
http://www.chilternrailways.co.uk/tickets-and-fares/ - but I doubt if they will help - the cheaper ones look to have gone

Although the Groupsave option for a travelcard doesn't appear on the on-line fares page, it IS available according to the website text HERE or HERE, click the Groupsave from £16 bit. So maybe worth checking at the station. Groupsave travelcards are certainly available here in the South.

Groupsave travelcard (route via Banbury) for 4 people is £64 according to the online booking engines.

Chiltern's booking engine said £128 - which is why I said not available on travelcards.

Happy for the correction though

That's odd. I used Days out guide and double checked with CrossCountry, as it unfortunately doesn't seem to be an option on the WebTIS system.

Groupsave will never but never work on advance tickets - it's not intended to. It works on standard fare off peak journeys with many but not all train companies.
