    I want to travel Cardiff to London, by first class if possible, on 28th July returning the next day. There are three adults and one child (14). We have a junior railcard between us, if that helps.

    Are there any deals at all?

    I used the Daily Mail offer last time - great value :D

    Have a read of the second paragraph 'Exeter Central to London' on:

    http://images.thetimes.co.uk/TGD/picture/0,,168556,00.gif

    (You have to enlarge the image to 150% or 200%)

    and see if it is relevant to you.

    Buying a standard 'saver' ticket for an adult and two children would cost £124.40. However, if you hold a Family Railcard (£20) and buy your tickets at https://www.thetrainline.co.uk using the promotion code "NOMOREDIY" your tickets would cost £61.65 together.


    Have tried this on a journey from Southampton to London. Does it only work with railcards?

    Hmmmpph! They've only offered me £3 off my next booking with a £20 spend to 5th July. :mad:

    I won't bother posting the code as you may as well use the £5 off one above.:rolleyes:

    How strange! They have sent me the code JUNE3OFF that only gives 3 pounds off, and it also expires on 5th July. It just about covers their credit card booking fee.

    For the 5 off 20 you have to have each ticket be 20 pounds, not your total :( I'm trying to book 2x £12 tickets and was hoping to get £5 off, but it won't discount anything.
