    Hi Linsey

    Thanks for the link, the cheapest i have got so far for Doncaster to London Kings Cross, on 12th January is £37.80 for 2 people. Times are 11.05 set off and return time 9pm.

    Can't seem to get the £8 single deal at all!!! But £37.80 is still a good deal.

    Probably only certain trains/days dipsy.

    You could always get a cheap bus ticket up to Dundee, there seems to be availabilty there. :D

    Actually as stupid as it may sound, try stations north of Doncaster and just get on at your stop. Book from say Newcastle or indeed Dundee and get on at Doncaster - same with the return. You might be surprised.

  • OP where did you find out about this? My friend is getting married in November next year and she lives in Oxford. I'm her Chief Bridesmaid and live in the north of Scotland so need to go backwards and forward a fair bit between now and then lol would be good to know if there was an email or something that I could subscribe to so I can keep an eye out for deals like this :)
