    Hi, can anyone do anything with this?

    Hull -> Birmingham New Street arriving before lunch time on 19/12
    Birmingham -> Hull departing around 2pm (just a guide time, not really bothered aslong as we're not getting back to Hull really late) on 20/12

    Cheapest I've got is £32 each!

    Thanks

    £24.00 each ok?

    Dep Hull 08:08, arr Birmingham NS 11:07. Advance Single = £12.00.
    Dep Birmingham NS 12:03, arr Hull 14:59. Advance Single = £12.00.
    Book before they are sold.

    Cheapest walkup fare is £63.10, so your £32.00. is very good too.

    You asked a very similar question in August.
    Did you notice dzug's answer?
    The information supplied is still true today.

    Are you still eligible for a child ticket?
    If so, £27.60 is possible.
    A lower price may or may not be possible depending on dates and time of day.
