    Well to go from west london to Tenby(lovely place) the use first great westerns website

    If you want to go to York then use East coast trains website.

    Both should give a little discount on the trains as your booking direct with them

    Then you should have an oyster to get yourself to the stations - Paddington/Kings cross respectively.

    Be warned though that you are leaving it close to get the best fares but play around with some splitting(especially on the Tenby trip)

    A Super Off Peak return from Wolverhampton to London Euston is available on London Midland trains for £17.50 per person.
    That reduces to £11.55 with a HM Forces railcard.

    No need to book those in advance, available on the day.

    You can find these fares on London Midland Trains website.
    Get the times up and the click on Show Other Routes, on left side.
    Tick the boxes Valid on London Midland trains only, then click the Update button.

    Can anyone help me?

    Have to travel Aberdeen to Birmingham on the 27th May and return on the 30th (any time of the day/night). The best I've been able to find this late on is £259 return for 2 people. I know we've left it late but can anyone improve on that?

    Thanks for any help :T

    Have a play around with the east coast website and try splitting it @ Edinburgh Waverly or something

    That is the walk on fare so it's not going to go up if you spend time looking for something cheaper

    You could try Aberdeen - Glasgow, Glasgow - Manchester, Manchester - Birmingham

    And it's not impossible (maybe unlikely though) that via London would help

    May be able to look at doing it Aberdeen - York and changing there for cross country too to Birmingham
