Any train promotion codes out there?

I need to get from Newcastle to Huntingdon( via Peterborough) on 22 November. The £5.00 special offer tickets with GNER finish tofday, not that this applied to this route, it's £36.00 per person single( only need single) is this the best I can get or is this the normal price anyway? So should I book today or leave it till nearer the time?

The 7:27 to Birmingham New Street has £13.50 tickets available as I type, add a £2:90 from New Street to Birmingham Int and here you go £20ish better off. You must book this ticket as soon as possible and must travel on that train.

That's a cheap advance fare - but there seem to be some at £29 that day so look for those.

It MAY be cheaper to rebook at Peterborough - worth a check

Don't wait though - book as soon as you can

me and OH want to go from Hull to Manchester on the evening of 16/11 returning evening of 17/11. the cheapest I can find is £39 each. can anyone help?

also, what is the 'TPE STANDARD ADVANCE B' ticket? I can get this cheaper but don't understand what it is, is it a return?

dzug

Well a saver return is £31.50 each - no evening restrictions that I can see and valid on any train without pre-booking.

The TPE fare is a return, has to be booked in advance and will only be valid on the trains booked. If you click on the fare type it tells you this.

I am looking to get from Oxford to Aviemore on the 11 Jan and back on the 13th or 14th. Are there any cheap fares out there, min I can find is about £80?

dzug: Well I think you were right. I get emails at work as I often travel by train for work, some of the links would not work today and even the cheapest for 2 of us was the tickets at £72.00 plus each. Checked out some older GNER emails and the early trains( which we need)were still available@ £72.00 for 2 of us one way still seems a lot compared to deals some people have got but we have to be there so I have payed it.

Cross Country trains, who you will use for much of the journey, haven't released cheap fares for that period yet. £26 single is the cheapest current fare - what will be on offer I've no idea.

Incidentally, that £80 is a remarkably good fare - are you sure about it? £117 is the cheapest I can find currently on offer.
