Urgent train advice please - family travelcard?

Hi, we are going to London tommorow, from Bedford.
We will be 2 adults and 5 children (aged between 6 and 11 - I know the 11 yr old needs a tube ticket).

The cheapest tickets coming up on online searches are £63, can anyone tell me if there is a cheaper option direct at the station please?

Normally I buy from the tourist info office but i've left it too late now as we wanted to be in London by 9am ideally :(

Yours eternally gratefully :D

    A Super off peak travelcard is coming up at £51.60 for all of you with a railcard or £43 if you ask for a groupsave 4. Details at the Southwest train website. To get these fares I have searched Bedford to Surbiton. The £43 is only available on FCC trains to St Pancras.
