I was just wondering (sorry if this is in the wrong place) can any1 tell me if there's any way of getting cheap train tickets.discount off.
there's no point buying a rail card as the person who is travelling doesn't travel that often and they can't get any student discount!
is it cheaper to buy over the phone or in the station.
they are buying in advance so obvioulsy this should help.
thanks.

Why is a person that handles your money called a broker?!

:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:0 -
Hi, if you are booking in advance, it might be better to go to the train station as they will tell you the cheapest option.I went to penrith from Nottingham they year before, and i was told if I buy a single there and another single back it only cost me £23 seeing I was booking in advance.There are restrictions in the sense you have got to stick to those times and you incur cost if you changed the times.0

Take a look at the TrainLine Site- they can price your tickets up for you and also show when you can get ultra cheap single tickets.
Bear in mind that sometimes it is worth buying a rail card as the cost can be recouped on your first journey.
In the event that your rail card isnt covered by your first journey - even only doing one extra trip later in the year makes it a worthwhile saving!! Hope that makes sense?

Online it quotes £67.50 for a return from Nuneaton to Euston, went to the station and the cheapest was £22.50, 2 single fares. In the end we booked a standard return for £29.50.
Go to the station !Just owe Dad £2500 for a new car
