Wow that is a real bargain well done, :T , there are some really good fares about shame it takes so much searching around to find them.0 -
Hi I need to book Newcastle to London, can you tell me where you saw these.There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.0

jordylass i got these by booking 2 sets of tickets.
There are no special fares available from my town as it is not on a main trainline. I booked the Sheffield to london via trainline.com which have singles for £6. I booked with a family railcard so got it cheaper still. To get from my town to Sheffield i can just get the tickets on the train because they are always the same price.
If you are traveling from Newcastle to London i believe GNER have fares for £20 return. There is also a 10% off code for GNER floating about somwhere making it £18.
I think the trick is to find the nearest station to you that do these cheap london tickets and then get the remainder of the journey seperate.
Hope this helps.0
