Any train promotion codes out there?

Don't know about cashback but you can get 2 Nectar points per pound spent on TheTrainLine.com by going to the Nectar web site, selecting e-stores and clicking through to TheTrainLine.com.

Even if it's too close to when you're travelling to order by post you can pick the tickets up from the machine at the station, if the station has that facility.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me find the cheapest way to get from Loughborough to Edinburgh Waverley on 8/9/07 leaving 06:35/arriving 11:37 and returning 9/9/07 leaving 09:50/arriving 15:10? Was hoping someone would know a clever way to get a cheap ticket? Thanks

If youcould delay the return leg until 10:30 arr 16:06 you could do it for £34 return, 2x £17 singles

Anybody help me with Birmingham to Newcastle?
Leaving Friday 31st August, coming back Sunday 2nd Sept. Any discount codes? I really am terrible with train websites - they hurt my head!
The best I've been able to do (I think) is 2 Virgin Advance Tickets singles priced £23 & £12. I've not travelled on a train for years, is this good, anything better?

You are unlikely to do any better than that - unless you can get the Friday price down by leaving earlier or later.

You won't find any of the other sites undercutting Virgin. They should be exactly the same price. So apart from checking that two singles aren't cheaper than a return and being flexible on the time of day you travel, that's the best deal you will get.

Virgin have one advantage - the will offer a half saver if no cheap single is available. No other site does this. (However I don't know if this applies to first class travel)

You could also look at split tickets - I'd suggest a combination of some or all of Cheltenham Spa, Bristol (probably Parkway rather than Temple Meads), Taunton and Exeter. Make sure the train stops at the relevant stations - not all Saturday ones do. You'll have to try it for yourself - I'm not prepared to do all that for you.

Hello everyone!

I'm new to this forum and to England in general, I'm going in September to Manchester as an exchange student.

I need to get from Stansted Airport to Manchester Oxford Road on September 13, leaving after 15:00. I'm getting £54 fares from TheTrainline. Is there a cheapest way to get there?

Thank you!!
JJ

Hi,

I'm looking for a way of getting 3 adults and 1 child from Southampton Airport Parkway to Newcastle, return, that costs less than ~£250 which is what I get off thetrainline and the other affiliated train fare sites, with a Family Railcard.

I am departing on Thursday 23rd August and returning on Sunday 26th, and would be travelling in the middle of the day on both occasions, Standard Class. I prefer direct trains on such a long journey, less scope for error and so would be using the Virgin Voyager service that goes up to Edinburgh.

Can anybody give us a hand, or is £250 the best we can hope for? If there are any promo codes about or "50% off all rail fares" sites that I haven't found, I'd be grateful if you could point me there in that direction. Obviously this is quite short notice but I'd appreciate any help!
