    Is anyone able to suggest a cheaper option than a standard saver return for the following journey:

    Milton Keynes Central to Leicester (& return)

    Leaving 24th March 10am-ish, returning 25th March 13.00

    2 adults, one with a YP Railcard = almost £43. Anything less would be most gratefully received.

    Cheers.
  • Buy two seperate tickets:

    Prices below are for both of you -

    24/03: 09:56 MK Central to Birmingham New Street (arr. 11.11) - £6.65 single
    ..........11.24 Birmingham New St to Leicester (arr. 12.13) - £20.75 Saver Rtn

    25/03: 13.15 Leicester to Birmingham New Street (arr. 14.13) - as above
    ..........14.45 Birmingham New Street to MK Central (arr. 16.02) - £6.65 single

    Total: £34.05

  • National Express coach will be quicker and cheaper for MK to Leicester.
  • hi guys,

    I need to get from Bournemouth to Newcastle this weekend - leaving on the 16/02 and returning on 17/02.

    The cheapest I can find is £82, and this is just too much!

    I have a young persons rail card, but are there any offers I can take advantage of.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
  • Anyone know of cheap tickets between Manchester and London? Wanting to go from Manchester any time on Thurs 22nd and come back from London anytime on Monday the 26th. I have a Railcard so can get a saver return for £39 but wondered if it was possible to go any cheaper!
    Thanks in advance everyone!

    Split the ticketing, but stay on the same train - buy Virgin Advance singles.

    22/02:
    2045 Manchester to Stoke-on-Trent (arr 2148) £2.65
    2148 Stoke-on-Trent to Euston £8.25

    1435 Euston to Stoke-on-Trent (arr. 1606) £15.20
    1606 Stoke-on-Trent to Manchester £4.30
