Virgin Trains is offering £5 Quidco for buying a train ticket. Cheapest train ticket I can find is 55p from EXC to EXD (with a railcard)... unless anyone can find a cheaper ticket?

Important: I have a feeling that it will only track when you pick up the ticket if you choose that option, so choose a date at least 10 days in the future and ask for the ticket to be delivered by free 1st class post, to be on the safe side.

ADDITION: A children's ticket with no railcard is 40p...

ADDITION 2: More 40p ticket routes:
Falmouth Docks (FAL) to Falmouth Town (FMT)

or

Lympstone Commando (LYC) to Lympstone Village (LYM)

or

Lympstone Commando (LYC) to Exton (EXN)

  • Wasn't it Martin who said in "Moneysaving Live" that we, as consumers, are here to play the game as best as we can, not to be "nice" to the companies who are trying to make cash out of us?
  • I've just booked a ticket, lol. I noticed it said on Quidco you could use this offer multiple times, but I'm not sure I'm brave enough for that!
    "...Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,
    but that we are powerful beyond measure". :o

    'Please read the following before proceeding:


    The £4 cashback offer is calculated per basket. To get cashback on multiple bookings you will need to book and pay for them separately.'

    Anytime after 10am, anyday it seems.

    A children's ticket with no railcard is 40p ;)

    I'm sure Sir Branston Pickle won't lose sleep over a few quid. He has a gazillion pounds in his piggy bank just itching to be spent...:rotfl:
  • Anyone found a cheaper ticket than 40p yet? ;)
