    Hi again..
    Looking to do the same journey either 24/25th jan returning either the 27/28th.
    I was told that there could be other savings if i did a GNER route?

    Not in your case that I can see. GNER tend not to offer cheap tickets for short hops like Doncaster Retford or Grantham Retford which is all you would be doing with them.

    Seems to be quite a bit of availability at £22 ad and £14:50 yp from HERE. You have to travel on the trains you book for these prices.

    :confused: Hi - like a few others on here, I'm after some help. I've been trawling through train websites for HOURS now and I'm no nearer a decent fare....I have to travel from LOUGHBOROUGH (or Leics at a push) to BOURNEMOUTH. I have to be at my destination by 12 midday on the Wed 20/2. I then need to travel back to Loughborough the following day, 21/2 to arrive back by 9pm at the latest.

    I really would appreciate any help as I can't get the fare below £79 rtn. MegaBus/ Train times are not do-able.

    Many thanks in advance.:beer:

    I am trying to buy tickets to travel to Birmingham New Street from Stirling on May 10 as early as possible, returning any time on the 11th but the prices are astronomical. Can anybody help?

    Yep - have a bit of patience. The cheap tickets are not released beyond mid-April yet.

    And before anyone reels out 'exactly 12 weeks' - it's definitely not happening currently.

    The only cheaper tickets I can find involve arriving at Bournemouth at 1315.

    You can do it by coach for £41 return

    Hi I hope you guys could help me out, I'm looking for a return train to Sunderland from London for under £30, I am a cash strapped student and need to get a look at the Uni I am applying for!
    Is it worth buying a kids ticket and masquerading to save money, is that too hard to pull off, because I look very young for my age and I'm quite small!
    I have looked at megabus but the journey time means I would have to stay over night there.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    The cheapest possible rail advance single is £12.90 each way. To get that you have to book well in advance.

    National Express can also be worth trying - they can be as cheap as megabus and MAY operate an overnight service
