Any train promotion codes out there?

Hi - if you're still looking for promotional codes, there are some available for CrossCountry trains via their Summer Seat Sale offer. If you visit www.crosscountrytrains.co.uk/sale and type in the promo code GIVEAWAY, this unlocks an extra 10% on advance tickets. Good luck!

Evening,

I'm travelling from Cardiff to B'ham on 24th Oct and coming back on the next day (Sat).

The cheapest return I can find (inc. researching the 2 singles option) is £41.70 RTN.

Am I missing something or is this the best I can get?

Thanks in advance.

if you can book in advance you can get the fares for as little as £11.50 each way BUT train times are pretty limited. That said, you can find them for trains around mid morning going and early afternoon coming back.

As with all advance bookings if you miss your train you have to pay full price - a real killer.

If money is tight - you might consider either megabus (regularly offer fares for £1) or national express fun fares (from £1). Trick with these if you can bear the 4 hour journey is to book 2 tickets on different times, just in case you miss one.

Hello can anyone help me please? I've never booked train tickets before.
We need to travel from Liverpool to London by train on 15th Nov, returning on 17th November. (we can be flexible about times)
I've checked the VIRGIN site and it's looking like £80 each

Can anyone recommend a cheaper way of doing this fare? Thanks

Given that a saver return, buy on the day, no advance booking needed, is 'only' £62.60 each you must be interpreting something wrong.

Cheap singles for the return on the 17th are readily available.
However, there's nothing yet for Saturday 15th and my guess is there won't be for some time. It depends on what engineering work is finalised for that weekend. The timetable you see now may bear little resemblance to what actually runs.

Edit - are you sure that that's £80 ish each and not total? A half saver plus the cheapest advance ticket would come out at not much more than that.

Hi

I travel between Guildford and Doncaster 2-3 times per month, and i use the National Express East Coast booking website. Still, it comes to about £50 return each time.

Can anyone help with money off promo codes, etc etc? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks guys.

Also, does anyone know of any rail cards that I'm applicable for as I am too old for YP now! 27yo, no kids.
