  • First train of the day from GOBOWEN is 05h39; connecting at Chester (depart 06h30) and Crewe (depart 07h05). Calls at Stafford (07h26) and Nuneaton (07h49) arriving Euston 08h58.

    Unrestricted saver fare from Gobowen £58.80, which is 90 pence cheaper than the better-known Shotton fare.

    The open return from Nuneaton is £102 - no savers at the early times.


    You can also think about travelling from stations north of Crewe. For example, the open return Liverpool to Euston is £205. The 06h27 London train travels through Crewe, departing there at 07h05 (it's the same train as above). LPL-Crewe open return £11.60. Gobowen -Euston unrestricted saver £58.80. Total £70.40 - little more than a third of the full fare.

    £17 saver to Nottingham then £14 saver to Retford is one possibility - it does confine you to that route though whereas the normal through saver is valid a variety of ways. You will need to change trains in Grantham.

    Well you can avoid the CC charge and booking fee for a start by buying from a TOC website rather than the trainline. Any will do - it doesn't have to run the trains on your route

    Try putting a route of Honiton for a cheaper fare if you haven't tried that already. It may or may not help. Doesn't sound too bad a fare anyway BTW

    So the 'correct' answer to posters here is 'shove off, there aren't any' (true most of the time), then? OK maybe a little less bluntly worded.

    Or is it to suggest alternative ways of reducing the fare?

    If you have a mobile you may be able to get TO London for £5 on the Saturday if the times suit with Chiltern's text to mobile fare.

    They are not available on Sundays but it's £17.90 walk on fare back on any Chiltern train

    Other cheaper fares are with Silverlink via Northampton (£24.50 saver return)

    If you don't need to leave Brum until after 1100 on the Saturday then Chiltern have an £18 (return) walk on fare to return on any train on Sunday.
