    Great saving. Going up to Newcastle in November I was going to take the car as the train tickets were going to cost us £90 return for 2 of us. Now it will cost about the same as the petrol would of cost plus I dont have to drive or be worried about traffic jams!

    £45 return great!:money:

    Try selecting 2 single tickets rather than a return, I've just booked 2 single tickets from Kings Cross to Newcastle on 16th Dec for total price of £10 with the 50% off. Returns started at £90 for the same journey!!

    Had this yesterday,no matter how much I tried it.Finally booked this morning using another PC.Found you had to keep changing train times and using back buttons a lot before you got the cheapest fares and progress to the checkout page.
    2 tickets Norwich-London return for a fiver each is a result though.
