Please could someone help me, I want to get an adult and child (8) to Taunton station from Penryn in August and then back 4/5 days later. I am aware that there is a 'Devon and Cornwall Railcard' which is an option for £10 and I think it gives a third of adult fare?

Is anyone able to help me clarify the cheapest option please? So far I think it'll be around £70 which is not affordable unfortunatly

Assuming you are a resident of Penryn then yes there's the Devon and Cornwall railcard as you say. It will only take you to Tiverton as Taunton is not in Devon.

Otherwise wait and see what advance purchase tickets become available - maybe from Truro rather than Penryn. You are at least a month too early to buy them but if you look now for travel in say June you will see the sort of thing that's probably going to be available.

Hi, this is my first post and I hope I am doing it right! My friend and I are looking to travel to Newcastle from Buxted, East Sussex on 22nd April and returning 24th April - this is the first time I have tried to save money online before travelling - the cheapest price I can find is £232.20 return (for the 2 of us) - I hope I am just being silly and not understanding the whole - split fares thing! Any help would be gratefully received!!

Hi guys,
Just wondered if there are any non-expired codes to buy a Family & Friends Railcard. I've googled but they all seem to have expired (just my luck!)

TIA x

I was just looking for the same thing! If there are no codes out there at the moment, does anyone know when the next promo will be?
thanks

Travelling from Derby to Cambridge on 25th July about 10am and departing on 26th July around 3pm but the prices on eastmidlandtrains quote £78 each return which is really expensive considering we're almost 3 months away. Is it worth my while waiting or do you think it will get more expensive. Have booked our hotel was hoping for a cheap train ticket to compliment my shopping trip.

Yes it is really expensive considering the walk on return fare is £42 - buy on the day. You are looking at a standard walkon single each way for your £78 - not something you want to contemplate.

And you may get it cheaper still by waiting - but not by a lot. The cheapest possible advance single fare is £18. East Midlands Trains haven't released tickets for your dates yet.
