Helloooo

My girlfriend and I would like to do the following:

Moulsecoomb to Norwich
04.09.06 returning 08.09.06
We both have Young persons railcards
Would like to arrive around 12-1 so would need to leave around 8ish

Best Prices so far
Rtn - £32.85
2 x Singles - £29 ( 2 x £14.50 )
Not sure but do these train journeys have to be exact trains - ie can't miss connection?

Thanks appreciate all the help!

The Saver Return (£32.85) is a fairly flexible ticket - most trains on the day of departure (except some peak services, one at 8.26 in your case) and return on any train (again, except some peak services) within a month.

The singles are for specific trains, so you have to get the ones you decide on. If you were to miss a connection through no fault of your own (e.g. because your first train ran late) it would still be accepted. But if e.g. you were late to the station because of traffic, it wouldn't.

Personally I'd pay the small amount extra for the saver, it saves me anxiety about missing my train!

I've tried a few combinations spliting up the journey, but can't make it cheaper. Maybe others who know the route might have suggestions.
