I want to travel Cardiff to London, by first class if possible, on 28th July returning the next day. There are three adults and one child (14). We have a junior railcard between us, if that helps.

Are there any deals at all?

I used the Daily Mail offer last time - great value

Hi Folks,

I wonder if anyone can help me. I regularly travel on business by train between Bristol Parkway and London (Paddington.) First Great Western is the sole operator on this route. Nine times out of ten I have to catch trains during 'Peak Time' (7:30am to 9:30am) and pay the 'Standard Open Return' fare of £112.

My question is: does anyone know of how I can save any money on this route? I use https://www.thetrainline.com to book my tickets as far in advance of my journey as possible but there are very rarely any discounts for Peak Time travel. For example, today I looked for a ticket for travel during August but there are no discounts during the time I have to travel. I use the Discount Code 'NOMOREDIY' to save myself a few £ but no amount of any significance. First Great Western provide no discounts in terms of Railcards, etc.

Any info/advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

No other codes but for three adults and a child for those dates with a family railcard is £66, when you are buying 2 singles.

Would it be worth your getting a season ticket?

The only other thing that I can think of is that National Express Coaches do a very frequent service to central London that is bookable and very much cheaper than the train - can be as low as £5 each way, depending on availability.

There are 1st class Apex tickets available for those journeys (leave 9 ish return next day 5 ish)

The First Great Western site has offers for things to do when you get to London but I haven't been able to find any special deals for the journey itself. Sorry!
