If you were to buy a ticket from Birminghan to Brighton via Euston, then yes cross London tube travel is usually included.

If you buy a ticket from Birmingham to London, and another from London to Brighton, then cross London tube travel is not usually included.

Going Beverley > Warrington this Thursday
One ticket costs £42.50 changing at Hull and Manchester.
But 3 individual tickets (same route) = 5.80+13.50+6.80 = £26.10
Not as dramatic as some of the other posts, but still quite a saving!

It all counts, why pay £42.50 for your journey when you can get it for £26.10, just under a 40% saving, nice one.

Where did you split, was it Hull and Manchester?

Oh, and welcome to the forum.:beer:

Looking for the cheapest way to travel from Crewe (or Stoke on Trent) to Glasgow Central/Queen St departing on 25/03/2011 (early as possible) and returning 28/03/2011 but must get into Crewe/Stoke before 9pm on the 28th. Thank you.

What have you found?

I can see an Advance Single from Crewe to Glasgow for £11.00.
Dep Crewe 05:57, arr Glasgow QS 09:14.

For the return leg, how about...
dep QS 17:40, arr Crewe 20:50. Advance Single = £22.50.

An Off Peak Return via Carlisle is £87.60.

With Advance Singles you must travel on the booked train.

Cheapest I can get to is £44.50 but I am usually rubbish at searching!!!!! Have searched all websites mentioned in Martins guide, but then came across split ticketing so thought would give it a try.

So that £33.50 is a 25% discount (or thereabouts).

Be surprised if splitting will reduce that.

Try splitting at Preston, or going via Manchester.

Detail from Southern Railway website.
