I have picked a random date (Monday April 4) and i have found fares for Falkirk Grahamstone- Sandwell & Dudley
05:47 10:55 2 changes 5:08hrs £41.50
15:54 20:56 2 changes 5:02hrs £41.50
16:24 21:46 3 changes 5:22hrs £22.00
17:54 22:54 2 changes 5:00hrs £16.00
These may be standard class but the train you have found for £60 (1754) leaves you with £44 to spend on items to 'speed' your journey up.

Good hunting. Knew it could be done.

Julie ill have to give passport control a call to get you when you get off the train;)

Ok then but i cant at the moment because Virgin have not released tickets for 13th april so cant get a quote..

But 2 days before there are stunningly cheap singles if you go via glasgow.

Glasgow to preston is up for £9 one way. so im guessing that when the fares are released they will have similar ones to that and then from there down to brum.

I reckon we can get it cheaper yes.

The challenge was to find a First Class fare cheaper than £60 WITHIN the next twelve weeks. I appreciate your input. If I wanted a 2nd Class ticket I would not have stated 1st Class - it's about the price of 1st class ie the cheapest journey with that sort of ticket not the lowest possible.:D

Read the brief its a First Class Ticket I'm after - if I wanted a really cheap one I'd try Mega Cattle Trucks:D

Jeff's only trying to help, if you don't want his help, then............

I agree that response was a little unpolite and I apologise - I think I was excited by the fact I thought he had found a cheaper 1st Class Fare than £60 and was holding back.

Bait placed, let's see if we can get a bite. Weak, predictable and sad.
