Does anyone have the 3 passwords from Sat-Mon Scotsman for cheap(er) National Express tickets?

Do the T&C state you have to take the papers with you? (In which case does anyone have any spare papers? I live south of the border, but have a pending trip back to my homeland!)

Thanks

I also am looking for the password.
I only got the first two: https://www.scotsman.com/myrail****
Does anyone have the third?

Megatrain might help for the Friday journeys - Loughborough - London and London - Portsmouth http://www.megatrain.com/uk/index.php

They don't run on Sundays.

For the Sunday any of the rail sites should give you the same prices - try for a cheap single for the through journey. If there isn't one, try Reading - London (will be expensive - no cheap fares on this route) and London - Loughborough separately to see if it works out any better.

Does anyone know if they can get a cheaper fare than £56 for a single train journey from Liverpool to Southampton? Thanks

Your fare is not in the fares list - What is it? It's cheaper than the standard fare so on the face of it is good.

There are various advance singles available ranging in price from £11.50 to £38.50 - you should be able to get one of these if you book far enough in advance. A full fare single (not via London) is £71


You could try an advance single to London (which ought to be readily available in advance) then megatrain to Portsmouth

If you book far enough in advance there should be some deals. e.g. 15 December:
Using fare finder on the Trainline http://www.farefinder.thetrainline.com/BestFares.aspx?orig=LIV&dest=EUS&out=20081215 I found £8 fares Liverpool Lime Street to London Euston.
Then a £1.50 (with oyster) or £4 (cash fare) on Northern Line (Charing Cross Branch) Southbound from London Euston to London Waterloo.
London Waterloo to Southampton on megatrain (www.megatrain.co.uk) on 15 December there are plenty of seats for £6/8

I need to be in Newcastle for around 12:30pm on February 21st next year. I will be leaving at anytime on the 22nd. The cheapest return fare I can find (from Chesterfield) is £58 which is loads and I can get to London for less!!

Does anyone have any good ideas of websites I can look at?? Or weird and wonderful routes I can take to keep the costs down??

Haven't checked, but my guess is you are trying to book too early. Certainly a few days ago Cross Country hadn't released tickets (cheap ones that is) beyond the end of January.

So just be patient and don't believe what you are told about 'exactly 12 weeks'. It's a total lie.
