Advanced Fares haven't been released for your dates yet. Keep checking and you can get them as low as 12.50 each way.

Hiya,

I just checked to see if the fares had gone down but it looks like there are less tickets than before and most are £54.50 and up! The returns on sunday are all £51 and up. Is it likely these will go down as I have to travel out on Friday 25th about 6pm and return before late sunday? I really don't want to pay that much!

Thanks

Anyone got any ideas for a cheap trip from Manchester to London? Ideally, would like to leave Manchester after 5.30pm on Friday 13th April, and come back anytime on Tuesday 17th?
I am heartbroken that the Daily Mail offer has ended and have an irrational hatred of the coach, so any help will be very much appreciated! Thanks in advance folks!

If you were prepared to go via Sheffield you could get Man-Sheff £6 leaving Man at 17:42 arr 18:41, then Shef-Lon 19:47 arr 21:53 for £12:50, total £18:50. If not £40 single, 1st class, or £42 std. class !! straight to Euston. Plenty at £19:50 for the return journey on the 17th if you can leave before 13:05.

Further to the reply to pompeyrich, if you don't fancy the trip via Sheffield,there is the option of a late departure from Manchester to Euston. You can get a one way fare of £19.50 on the 20:15 departure arriving at Euston at 22:57 or for £12.50 departing at 20:45 and arriving at 00:09 the following day. These fares can be combined with the £19.50 return as mentioned by pompeyrich. If you want to travel earlier, you might as well get a Saver return at £59.50. If you qualify for a Railcard, then get one for discounted fares.

In general, the cheapest Advance fares usually go on sale about 12 weeks before travel. They are limited in supply and the tickets for a prime time, like a Friday evening train to London, will have sold out weeks ago. If possible, you should plan and book in advance to get the cheapest fares.

The fares I found were obtained from the Journey Planner on :-

http://nationalrail.co.uk/

This is an excellent website with details of times and fares for any journey.

Good spot Roland, I must be slipping missing that 20:15 one, agree National rail site is about the best around, although it is worth double checking the train operators own site as there are sometimes special offers there that dont show up on NR, also Megatrain for certain trips, Manchester-Carlisle, Glagow or Edinburgh for £1 is hard to beat!

If you buy a family railcard for £20, lasts a year, you can get a super advance saver return for £108 for the 3 of you, leaving oxford at 09:36 and returning at 14:10, other return times are available you will have to search around for them , you MUST travel on the train you book, so there is no flexibility. These prices were found HERE. Alternatively you could try to get a cheap ticket to Manchester and then MEGATRAIN it from there.
