    Hi Evesham,

    I have only just seen your reply on my return from Plymouth! Thank you for your suggestion - it is precisely what I did in the end! £67 (2x £33.50) fares using the discount code, which basically worked out as 2 for 1, as it is usually £64 for one return ticket.

    Very good value for money & even better, as I can claim the return fares back as the train journey was 1 hour 20 minutes late on its return journey!

    So London - Plymouth return for £41 - excellent stuff!

    Thanks again.
  • G'day folks,

    I would like to travel from Edinburgh to Coventry RETURN, leaving Edinburgh at approximately 5pm (+/- an hour) on Fri 15 Jun

    and

    on the return journey, leaving Coventry no earlier than 13.30 on Sat 16 Jun.

    I was quoted a price of approximately £90 over the phone!

    Can someone help me find a cheaper price?

    I have no idea how to find these cheaper prices so any advice would help! Cheers folks, skint.

    Friday 15th June leave EDI at 16.52 arr Cov 21.49, Sat 16th June leave Cov 16.10 arr Edi 21.40 for £25 each way, £50 total from National rail journey planner. Look at 2 singles rather than a return. The single fares are less flexible, meaning you have to travel on the booked train only.

    For anyone travelling between 2 stations in Scotland there's currently an offer from Scotrail for 50% off Saver Return, SuperSaver Return and Cheap Day Return tickets. I posted it here on the discounts board, where it'll probably get better exposure than being in the middle of this long thread (important since bookings must be made by the 17th April).
  • Hey all, Just wondering if anyone knew of the cheapest way to get a group booking from crewe to lancaster via virgin trains, if there were any promotional codes etc.

    Its for the 2nd and 3rd of June ages away but everywhere so far is quite expensive or doesn't have a group booking option...anyways any information would be great..

  • Hi,

    have you seen this thread for a family railcard, Have a nice day. Might help.
  • Looking to book for 4 adults from Darlington to London going Sat 14th July around 10am leaving Sunday 15th July around 4pm. Registered for e-mail updates from GNER for release dates, their site shows booking upto 6th July. Tried this morning on spec and the dates are released and cheapest option is £90 return. This is not bad but had hoped to get in early and buy single tickets at a cheap price. Any ideas?

    Yes have a bit of patience - the dates don't look released to me looking at the site. 6 July , yes - anything after, no. I think you are misreading the site.

    The £90 is a walk on ticket.

    The cheapest Virgin Values at £9 each way are readily available for your dates

    For a group booking you need to phone or go into a station - it may not be much if anything cheaper.
