    Thanks so much
    You do not say how expensive 'very expensive' is.:D

    Your outward journey can be done for £8. and the return jouney will cost you £10. These are Advance singles, so buy your tickets before 6pm tomorrow (Tues) - preferably earlier.

    £18 return for that journey is not 'very expensive' (cheap singles, £8 out £10 return). £8 is the cheapest available fare.

    National Express are showing fares at £5 each way if you are flexible on timing

    The 1942 ex Mcr has £21 singles still. The next day that price is easily achievable.

    Also see if rebooking at York helps - it may or may not

    Any repeat any train booking site will give you that fare - it doesn't matter a **** which. They ALL repeat ALL use the same database of fares though they may look things up in different ways. When you get to the page with return fares, click the button for single fares. You may need to scroll for earlier/later trains as only a few show up at once.

    I in fact used http://www.chilternrailways.co.uk/buy-online/

    You need to scroll to the end of the list of stations to put a non-Chiltern station in. They don't charge a booking fee/postage.
