My boyfriend recently moved to Crewe and I am keen to reduce the cost of visiting him.

Does anyone have any tips?

Thanks

Booking in advance is one method.

And/or try split ticketing in Birmingham, or London if you travel that way

megatrain to London might help too - but it doesn't run on Sundays if that's important http://www.megatrain.com/uk/index.php

Or (only joking:rotfl: ) dump him in favour of a more conveniently located model.

Try this;
Warrington Bank Quay to Manchester Piccadilly £6.40 Anytime day single
Manchester Piccadilly to London Euston £1 Mobitix Advance Single

Total £7.40

Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to catch your connection at Manchester to book the Mobitix ticket you need a WAP enabled mobile phone more info and to book can be found here;

I have looked at this journey before, but not had much luck. One of the things I did was to try Birchwood to Euston (obviously via Manchester). This did actually throw up a reasonable ticket! Otherwise the single fares to Manchester from Warrington can be a big part of the fare. This was when there were £10 singles on the Manchester/Euston journey.

All thee rail websites will have these fares.

Some will show them straight off, others you have to press a button 'single tickets may be cheaper' or words to that effect. Sometimes it's easier to look for each leg separately

I'd like some help with finding the cheapest rail tickets from Bodmin to Edinburgh. We can't take the value fare that involves crossing London because one of us is elderly & infirm and can't cope with the hassle of Paddington to Euston by tube. We want to travel during the day and ideally on the one train that's a through journey. But we would change at Birmingham if necessary. We both have senior rail cards. Many thanks for any help.
