Try splitting at Birmingham New St.

Also go to your HR Admin (where your pay clerks work) and apply for a HMF railcard for yourself and your wife, IIRC £12 each but it will save you a bundle on that journey.

Your 1 year old travels for free.

Unluckily for yourself that route is run by Arriva Crosscountry who are the tightest train company with regards to Advance tickets. But the best you can do is buy in advance (Advance singles £24.50, it will save you £21.50 on average compaired to the walk on Off peak fare (£70.50).

If you can't get the cheap advance tickets then look at splitting at one or more of the following;
Bristol Temple Meads or Cheltenham

Not quite the times you want but how about...

Dep Nuneaton 09:16, arr Castleford 12:00. Advance Single = £20.50.
or dep Nuneaton 12:16, arr Castleford 15:00. Advance Single = £20.50.

Dep Castleford 11:41, arr Nuneaton 15:43. Advance Single = £13.00.
or dep Castleford 14.36, arr Nuneaton 18.08. Advance Single = £20.50.

Total could be as low as £33.50.

With Advance Singles you must travel on the booked train.
