Hi all,

I'm travelling from Manchester Piccadilly to Perth (Scotland) on the 6 July (need to leave at about 7) and returning on 9 July (need to leave at about 4pm). Does anyone know if there are any promotional codes or anything so i can get cheap tickets. I need 2 child tickets.

Cheers,

Lewis

I'm nu 2 posting so please let me know if i'm not meant to put this here. I'm going from Aberdeen to london on the 2nd july and coming back on the 8th. I've looked for flights, buses and trains, but the cheapest price i can get for my partner and myself is £120. Can anyone do better?

Hi guys

I really hope someone can help me. I need to go London to Northampton, then Northampton to Bradford, then Bradford to London. All off peak with a railcard. The best I can do it £48 :eek:

So... does anyone have any codes (eg for the trainline or similar?) or does anyone know how I can do this journey for less than £48???

Please help me

Is this on one day or spread over several days? Could make a lot of difference.
What tickets make up the £48?

The 3 journeys are all seperate days. The £48 is made up by buying all singles, breaking the journey at Birmingham and Leeds because that seems to be cheapest. The Birmingham-Leeds and Leeds-London tickets are advanced value tickets, the others are what you would buy on the day.

In that case I doubt if you will do better. London - Northampton and Northampton - Birmingham are not journeys conducive to cheap fares and if you've got cheap singles for the rest you are doing well. Not aware of any current incentive codes - they are not that frequent.

Actually I do have one thought that is worth checking out. Try getting a bus from Northampton to somewhere on the Midland Mainline - Kettering is the most obvious - and see what if any cheap singles to Bradford you can get from there.

Don't know what the bus fare will be - well under a fiver I would guess. They are quite frequent and it's not very far.

i'm not sure if i should be posting in this thread, but i've been tearing my hair out all day trying to find train tickets from edinburgh to nottingham on the 29th june, arriving in nottingham at around 12 midday. the returns are something ridiculous like £120, but the little tips and tricks that have been suggested on this site are frying my brain, as i know nothing at all about trains or how to get around in nottingham. has anybody got any tips on what i should be trying? why is this so difficult??!
