    Right, bear with me coz this is complicated!!

    I need to travel from London - Kings X on Thu 5th Apr (1 x adult)
    I wil then collect two step children and return to Durham (1 x adult, 2 x step children)

    On Tues 10th April, OH will take step children back to Kings X (1 x adult, 2 x children) and then return to Durham (1 x adult).

    Any tips on getting the cheapest/best deal?

    Hello.

    I only want to go from London to Birmingham International but the fares are an arm+leg!

    I want to travel in June.

    When do Virgin Advance fares become available?

    Hi,

    I have to travel on First Great Western at short notice to attend a funeral next week.

    I have downloaded the Daily Mail vouchers kindly provided on this site.

    Please could somebody tell me whether this offer is still valid as I notice the vouchers are from January / February?

    Also, if the offer is still running, please could you tell me how I use these vouchers to book my tickets. Is there a promotion code to book on the web, or do I need to telephone a particular number?

    The link to the Daily Mail Promotion Terms and Conditions is no longer active. :(

    Any help is greatly appreciated, as being an unexpected journey I hadn't budgeted for this expense.

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    Having checked out the Virgin Trains site, it appears that the Daily Mail offer expires tomorrow, so it is no good for my journey. :(

    Please could anybody suggest a cheaper fare for my journey:

    London (any station) to Plymouth Monday 02/04/07 (AM)

    Plymouth to London (any station) Thursday 05/04/07 (AM)

    I have looked at the Megabus.com site, but there are no direct trains and the timings for changing at Exeter aren't suitable for the connections.

    I am particularly interested in trying the money saving method of buying several single tickets.

    Any help appreciated.

    Thank you.

    As you are looking to buy tickets close to your date of travel - most of the cheap ones have sold out.

    However the cheapest I can find is £20.50 going out (and using code "LTTL5D" - via https://www.thetrainline.co.uk)
    - at 09.05, 10.05, 11.05, 12.05, 13.05

    and £13 returning at 08.55

    Total £33.50 return.

    Hi all,

    Im new here, so, erm, hi!

    Im looking to travel with my girlfriend from Brum New Street to Newcastle Central. Going 11/04/07 and returning 15/04/07. Time between 12 and 2 are fine. I have a student railcard, she does not. Ive looked on the trainline, which i usually use.

    Going there is fine, VALUE ADVANCE SINGLE A = £38.50 for the two.

    Coming back however, the only one available are STANDARD OPEN SINGLE - £103.75 :S !?!?! We could go first class advanced for £8 more! Surely there is a cheaper option. Am i right in thinking that £103.75 is that same price if i buy on the day of return?

    Any cheaper deals would be very much appreciated.

    Thanks.

    It would be worth trying Virgin's own website for this. They will I believe sell 'half a saver return' for the return journey rather than a full priced single.

    And yes a standard open single is what you would pay on the day.
