That's the standard walk on fare at weekends. Advance singles haven't sold out, but come to more than that when added together so no point.

Check if split ticketing at Peterborough works - it does some of the time

If not, no idea other than - try to book earlier

Try booking via Sheffield for Leeds - London

Lancaster - Crewe

Crewe - Birmingham New Street

Birmingham New Street - Cheltenham

Can save up to 30 pounds depending on availability of cheap tickers etc!

Get a Rail Card and save even more! :P

Hope this travel advice helps!:beer:

But check for through advance singles first - if they are available (from £9 allegedly) they will be best

Try splitting the journey at either Exeter St Davids, Bristol Temple Meads or Westbury

Buy Taunton to Bristol (Temple Meads or PArkway), then Bristol to Oxford - max £31 but less if you buy in advance. Normal fare £64 one way (daylight robbery).

It is even cheaper coming back as the Oxford to Bristol ticket is only £16.50.

My top tip - DON'T USE TRAINLINE.COM! Use http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/ - NO CHARGES AT ALL, EVEN FOR AMEX !!
