Hi,

I was looking to travel to Hull on saturday 21st nov from London and return the same day, i have found fares ranging from £60 to £120, can anyone give me any idea of a cheaper option.

many thanks

what time you want to come home at ? have you tried hull trains site for singles each way?

just had a look for a saver if you leave on the 0934 and return on the 1812 its £69.00

woul be coming home after 6pm. I had previously seen that price, and it did appear to be the best option, although at £69 it seemed very pricey! I do appreciate though that its only 10 days away so was not sure if there was any other options to get a cheaper deal?

thats a saver so would be valid for the next day if you decided to stay over for one reason or another.

try the hull trains website for any singles or a split ticket at Doncaster.

I am looking to travel from London Kings Cross to Newcastle on Friday 4th December and travel back on the Saturday 5th December.
On the Friday can travel anytime even a really early train doesn't matter.
On the Saturday I can travel anytime after 6.00pm.

I have looked on a few website and cheapest I have found is £65.
Can anyone help me find any cheaper please?

Many Thanks

Sam

If you haven't already tried http://www.eastcoast.co.uk/ then do so. You may get 10% off, depending on the fare

Otherwise you ain't gonna get it any cheaper.

If you are over 60, an Anytime Senior Return at £50.60 (no railcard needed) from Kings Cross to Sunderland may be worth looking at. Its only valid on Grand Central Trains, and on the Sat the last train from Sunderland leaves at 17:30... so may be too early.

If you are under 60 and a 17:30 return departure from Sunderland is ok, try this...
4 Dec,
dep KingsX 06:15, arr Newcastle 09:36. Advance Single £23.60.
5 Dec,
An Anytime Single at £2.90 from Newcastle to Sunderland.
then dep Sunderland 17:30, arr KingsX 21:30. Anytime Single (GC Trains only) £36.00.

Total return trip = £62.50.

I need to travel from Manchester to Cardiff on Saturday 16th January and return to Manchester on Sunday 17th January. Cheap advance fares for the Saturday have been available for a while (at least a couple of weeks) but I still can't find any cheap fares for the Sunday. Do I just need to keep checking for when the advance tickets go on sale or are there sometimes dates when no advance tickets are made available? Are there any other ways I can save money on my train tickets?

It seems as though Arriva Trains Wales have no Advance Singles available for the return leg.

Select 'via Birmingham Stations' and several Advance Singles show up at £19.50.

Info from East Coast Trains website.

Hey there, I need to travel from Haverfordwest to Prestatyn on 30th Dec, preferably not at unsociable hours, and not on journeys over 7 hours, or on those requiring a bus. Anyone be able to help me find cheap train tickets? I have a 16-25 student railcard, cheapest I've found so far is £17.15 but as a student that's still quit a bit!

Thanks in advance
