Any train promotion codes out there?

The_Groat_Counter

^^^ That's correct, on East Coast the ones with the 10% off have the asterisk/ are shown in red text.

It's worth noting that the 10% discount is only available on the "lowest" Advance fares that EC offers, so on some trains these will either be sold out or otherwise won't have been made available in the first place, in which case you'll be offered a more expensive Advance fare without the 10% discount.

This is what is stated on the East Coast website:

The 10% discount is off East Coast lowest Standard and First Advance Purchase products (available only on lowest Standard and First Advance fares excluding trains arriving into London before 1115 or leaving London before 0929 or 1555-1901 inclusive (Mon-Fri). Lowest fares are on sale on all trains at the weekends).

The above text comes from this page (remove space after the www. to reconstruct link):

The advance singles are indeed £19.50 each way, but if you do the following its cheaper and valid on any train (subject to off peak return time restriction for Derby-Sheff, not before 0900 from Derby).
Telford-Birmingham New Street £10.40 Anytime Day Return
Birmingham New Street-Derby £15.80 Anytime Day Return
Derby-Sheffield £8.80 Off Peak Day Return

Total £35.00 and your not restricted to any train.

I hope I don't sound too stupid here, but.... Do I have to change trains in Derby or is it just that I have 2 split tickets ?

On the outward leg, if the train you arrive in Derby on isn't going to Sheffield, then yes you need to change trains.

On the return leg, if the train you arrive in Derby on isn't going to Birmingham, then yes you will need to change trains.

Otherwise, you will not have to change trains at Derby.
