Hiya!!

I work in the Rail Industry, the best price at the moment going from Glasgow Central to Blackpool North on Monday 22 May is £16.50 Single travelling on the 10:10 service and changing at Preston arriving in Blackpool North at 13:21

These tickets are subject to availability

Thats fantastic! Im going to book right away. How do you find these as i will need one to get back a few days or so later (and for future reference as last time i tried trainline i spent hours and couldnt find anything reasonable!).

Many thanks!!!

EDIT - booked it, thank you!

dont forget guys if your ticket is £20 or more use code NOMOREDIY on the site to get £3 off (trainline)

Luckily (since i missed it) it was £13.50 so couldnt have used the code!

My advice would be 'Avoid thetrainline.com'!!

I've had to buy quite a few tickets from them for work and so far, out of 6 different sized orders (ranging from £150 - £2000), 4 of them have arrived late! Apparantly, with them 'next day delivery' means 'next day + 1'. Great when you're buying last minute!! Also, their customer service is, as usual, based in India, and you'd get more help from the speaking clock!

Grrr!!!!

Why don't you try using the FastTicket machines to collect the tickets at the station instead of relying on the post? I've always done this and had no problems.

Is this code working for anyone, as it doesn't work for me and I'm buying tickets worth £60+

evesham1988la

Yes - it is still working - check that each individual ticket is worth £20+ rather than a combination...
