anyone know how to split a Liverpool to London journey?

It's from £12.50 each way on a direct train. I'd be amazed if you can do better

The Birmingham to Bristol sector is cheaper booking at Cheltenham. For York - Birmingham you'll have to experiment - maybe rebooking at Sheffield and Derby.

But at this late stage your scope is limited - you'll be paying standard fares.

Anyone have any ideas on Sheffield to Poole, I need to get the train to POOLE arriving before 12! 54.85 was the cheapest I found but it was NOT LONDON, I would prob go back via london.

Thats with a Y-P Railcard

Thanks

Try megatrain for the Birmingham - Bournemouth sector, and for Bournemouth - London going back

Sorry, excuse my stupidity, but what is megatrain?

It's a way of selling very cheap fares on existing trains. On a few Bournemouth - London trains a coach is set aside for megatrain passengers. Where Virgin do it you just find an empty seat (or not,as the case may be). Advance booking internet and mobile phone only.

http://www.megabus.com/uk/ - it shares a website with megabus, don't be alarmed.

So I would need a SOR on the Sheffield to Birmingham route (Changing at Derby) £32.35 as the Saver wont be valid, £10.00 to Bournemouth and £1.90 CDR to poole. £44.25, better! lol, the £5X.XX Saver wouldnt be valid for travel at 5am from sheffield anyway would it?

Actually lookin at times, it isnt going to be possible I have to two routes below, any cheap ways to do these ones?

SHEFFIELD 05:20 Train MIDLAND MAIN LINE DERBY 05:54
06:05 Train VIRGIN TRAINS BIRMINGHAM NEW STREET 06:45
07:03 Train VIRGIN TRAINS SOUTHAMPTON CENTRAL 09:40
09:51 Train SOUTH WEST TRAINS POOLE 10:34

Or

SHEFFIELD 05:29 Train NORTHERN RAIL DONCASTER 06:06
06:23 Train GNER LONDON KINGS CROSS 08:12
08:12 Tube* LONDON WATERLOO 09:05
09:05 Train SOUTH WEST TRAINS POOLE 11:19

Or

SHEFFIELD 06:45 Train VIRGIN TRAINS SOUTHAMPTON CENTRAL 10:40
10:51 Train SOUTH WEST TRAINS POOLE 11:34

They are the only 3 options as i NEED to be there before 12!

Thanks for helping :-D

This may be a false memory, but ISTR that GNER savers to Peterborough had far fewer time restrictions than those to London - so maybe saver to Peterborough, SDR London, CDR Poole (though you may just be too early for that)
