    hi, we just won a free holiday to pontins southport:j

    we will be travelling on 2nd july and returning on 6th july.

    the cheapest total i can find for 2 adults is £26, each way - which seems good but can i get it cheaper?

    many thanks for any suggestions

    Where are you getting the quoted £120?

    Two saver returns cost £106.20.
    If you buy a Network Card (£20) you can get this down to £70.10 for a further £16.10 saving.... and you can use your Network Card for the rest of the year to get similar discounts!

    On Fri 20/7 the 12.30 from Kings Cross to York is £33.50 single per person

    On Sun 22/7 most afternoon singles are £33.50 or £36.50 first class.

    Saver returns £74.10 up to 14.35 Fri (and after 19.00)

    Cheaper but less flexible than a saver but single to Doncaster at 14:35 or 15:35 at £28:50, then single to York at £9:60, then single back to London as in Will's post for £33:50= £71:60pp Not great but probably a bit late to get the real bargains.

    Hi 2 adults due to travel to London from Manchester on Saturday 15th September and want to arrive by 3pm latest - early morning best. We're due to return Sunday 16th September at anytime.

    Does anyone have any Virgin train promotional codes or can you suggest a cheaper way of getting down to London?

    The Sunday there seems to be one train only that offers a £12.50 ticket (12:05-15:40 Euston -Piccadilly) which would be fine but I can't seem to find any cheap tickets for the Saturday to arrive by early afternoon - cheapest seems to be the standard £29.75 so total price is £42.25.

    Can this be beaten? Can anyone help? Thanks!

    Two ideas (without doing any research):

    FGW Firstminute fare to London, GNER advance singles to/from Darlington.

    FGW Firstminute fare to Cheltenham, Virgin Value singles each way to Darlington. Or VV singles are available for the complete journey via Cheltenham - 'from' £16 each way.

    The service via London is faster.

    Or out one way back the other
