Hello,

I hoping someone can help....I need to get a train ticket from Manchester to London anytime between now and tomorrow (before 12am preferably). The best price I can find is about £50, does anyone know of any better deals available or any discount codes with virgin trains...

Travel with London Midland on the Desiro unit.

An off-peak day return (valid on the 08:46 from Euston, thence any later train) is £28 each. Can return on any train.

If you're going for more than one day, there is a period return (return within a month) for £30 each (return fare).

If you have railcards (16-25, senior, etc) prices reduce by a third.

You can get a period return ticket (any permitted) for £66.10 (return price).

However, the cheapest way is to get a Manchester-Stoke ticket (£11.00 single, £11.10 day return) then the Stoke-Euston ticket I talk about in the response above (£27.90 single, £30.00 period return).

These tickets are all off peak (except the single Manchester-Stoke which is 'anytime'.

Anyone know a cheaper way than £113 to get from Exeter to Leeds (return) next weekend? (28th-29th..or 27th-28th)

Yes Lollipops.
Catch the 11:23 or 12:23 on 28 Mar from Exeter direct to Leeds (arr 17:04 or 18:02). Advance single £31.50.
Catch the 07:30 on 29 Mar from Leeds direct to Exeter (arr 13:24). Advance single £41.00.

Total = £72.50

Try this a bit slow but saves you some money look for the advance singles;
Exeter to Bristol
Bristol to Manchester Pic Via Newport(SW)
Manchester Pic to Leeds

I worked it out at £62 return but you need to play with the times to get the best savings and as these are advance singles give yourself plenty of time to catch you next train at least 30 mins

Hiya All

I am travelling from Stoke-on-Trent to London Euston with my mum on 28th April coming back on the 29th April. I went onto Virgin Trains and the cost for the 2 of us in total is £109.40. If i did the journey from Manchester Picadilly to London Euston it woul cost about £50. Would i be able to buy these tickets but get on the train at Stoke and show this to the ticket inspector when on the train.

Thanks

Lisa
