    Several companies offer 10% off their own fares. Which train company are you travelling with? Also what dates/times are you travelling and from/to which stations?

    If you are registered with topcashback there is £4 cashback and quidco £5 off each ticket by booking with Virgin Trains. This appears to have just started. Ticket has to be over £7, guess yours would easily qualify.

    Quidco are offering £5 off per basket not per ticket...so easy i book my journey in separate baskets!!

    i tried some train website but none were offering the 10% on my journey, but if the quidco works then its a better offer as i will look into booking my journey in parts.

    The £5 cashback offer is calculated per basket. To get cashback on multiple bookings you will need to book and pay for them separately. You will only recieve the £5 cashback offer if your ticket is £7 or more

    Mutley, I think you may be looking at this the wrong way.

    Have you read the Cheap Train Tickets article?

    If your were to tell us your journey... from, to, dates, times, number of passengers... I am sure someone will help you.
