  • Hi,

    Please can I have any advice / discount codes for London to Liverpool Return for Saturday 8th December, returning Monday 10th December.

    Any help much appreciated.

    Thank you.
  • Could anyone help me find cheap fares From Birmingham to Norwich on the 13th of January. Cheapeast i can find is £41.

    Thanks

    Where did you find that £41 fare? As far as I can see it doesn't exist. Nothing between £47.10 and £24 that I can see.

    Try splitting the journey - you MAY get it cheaper that way

    There are cheaper fares listed (from £17 single) but no availability that I can see on 13 January. Given that it's Cross Country I'm not sure that they've got their act together and released them yet - they were very late with the Christmas period
  • I have tried splitting the journey and it works out to be around £14. I guess you are right then that maybe the value fares have not been released. Thanks for your help. The £41 fare i found was on the nationalrail website.
  • Hi,
    Don't know if anyone can help but I'm wanting to go from Derby to London (2 People) on December 28th, returning on 30th. The cheapest I've been able to find is 48 pound each (34 one way and 14 back). Would I be better going to the station to buy the tickets( my sister swears this is cheaper!)?
    cheers
    howskint?

    ps does anyone know why the outward journey is approx 2 hours but the return is nearly 4??!:confused:

    There are some £28 ones down to London but not until 13:34. The fares you quote are for 2 people not each. Buying them before you travel will be cheaper than at the station, you can buy them until 6 p.m. the night before but best to get them as soon as possible, as they do sell out of cheaper fares.

    The reason for the longer return journey time, is probably due to engineering works, if you click the journey time, or show details button it shows you will have to catch a replacement bus service from London-Luton.

    You can go to the station to buy advance purchase fares at the same prices as on line - no more, no less. Whether they book from the same allocation or not I've no idea. If it's separate it could run out earlier - or later - and thus give different fares.

    From 2 January you will also have the choice of Megatrain - starts just too late for you

    Sound advice, as always Dzug, I had assumed howskint's sister had meant it would be cheaper to just turn up on the day of travel, didn't think of going there beforehand.... D'oh !!
  • This is a long thread, and I'm new here; so apologies if this has been posted before:

    The first train of the day from GOBOWEN (0646), via the above stations to Euston has a saver fare of £50 standard return with no restrictions.

    The journey departs Shrewsbury at 0712, Birmingham 0830, Coventry 0850.

    Even from Coventry the open return fare is £102.

    And of course, the £50 from Gobowen can be used on any train back.
