What rail companies offer a cheap deal when you buy tickets in groups of 4? Is it available on all services?

Here is a guide to the "groupsave" deal, not sure if other train companies are doing this. Travel has to be "off peak"

Hi,

I've just got a new job as cabin crew. I live in Lincoln and will be commuting to Gatwick regularly for long haul flights.
Does anyone know how to get the cheapest ticket for this journey.

Anyone able to find out the cheapest train from Port Talbot - Nottingham. 7th/8th or 9th August 2007. I have not got alot of money and I got my brothers wedding on 11th August and I don't wanna miss it.

Thanks

As far as I'm aware all train companies operating in the SE offer groupsave tickets off peak.
The relevant map has been linked 3 posts earlier by pompeyrich. The train operating companies operating the groupsave scheme are listed at the bottom of the map.
The groupsave scheme allows 3 or 4 passengers to travel offpeak for the price of 2. Tickets are turn up and buy.

Hello,
does anyone know if there is a cheap way to get my son is season ticket for getting to school. Somebody did tell me there is a bizarre way to do this via plymouth.
He needs his season ticket from Audley End to Cambridge. He is under 16 so cannot apply for a student railcard.
Many thanks

If he's under 16 then he should be able to get a child rate ticket - so no need for a railcard.

Your local education office might have more info - the reference to Plymouth doesn't make much sense. If you can find more detail post it, then it might.

The cheapest you can do it is:

Megatrain to Bristol (from £2.50 return) and then Virgin Value advance singles Bristol to Liverpool and back - £12 each way.

The Megatrain fares will be easy enough to get if you book well in advance - the £12 singles might be trickier. There won't be many and they'll sell fast.
