  • Hi I am new to this forum and was wondering if someone could help, I am looking for the cheapest return train tickets from,Grimsby to London (pref Victoria) I am not a big user of trains, and have had a look around but can't seem to find any stand out cheap fares.

    It will be on the 29th June, arriving before 3pm and departing after 6pm, as I have been invited to the Royal Garden Party.

    Thanks in advance.

    I have just had a quick look on http://www.hulltrains.co.uk/ and you can get it each way from grimsby for £22.50 and thats a U1 ticket which is one journey on the tube in each direction.

    Green park would probably be your best bet for Buck palace though. Go have a look on that site and have a play around with the timings as the outward gets you there at 1430 which is a bit tight and the return is late too but if you want cheap then try that. Or splitting your journey too

    Do you hold any railcards?

    http://www.eastmidlandstrains.co.uk/Pages/default.aspx give an extra discount on your ticket if you buy direct from them.

    Have a play around with times on that site

    Depends on where your leaving from as we are not mind readers. Beware as your going for football(maybe i can read minds) then there will probably be no advance tickets left

    Well assuming you mean from London, then you can save about a fiver using advance tickets - there's still a £30.50 fare on the 1855 return, with £35 outward being available on all trains.

    Hi all,

    I have to go Liverpool on Sunday 29th, returning on the 31st May 2011.

    I am not much of a rail user to be honest and just have used the London Underground at most but I am required to go Liverpool for 2 days. I was wondering whether anyone can help me in obtaining the cheapest possible tickets?

    Outward journey (29th): departure to be after lunch, or even before
    Inward journey (31st): to leave Liverpool in the evening on Tuesday.

    I was hoping to stop by Manchester for a few hours, where permitted to see a friend but as I am no freeuent user, to say the least, of the railway, I dont knowhow this will affect the fare.

    I hope someone can help. Thank you soo much in advance :D !
