i have a senior rail card so can get an off peak period return from bognor regis to stoke on trent for around £53.00.
is there a cheaper way??? not via london maybe??? or splitting tickets??
i cant book ahead of travel, as i wont know when i am going til the last minute.
any advice gratefully received. thanks.

An Off Peak Return with Senior Railcard from Bognor to Milton Keynes via Kensington Olympia is £22.25. May need to change at Barnham and Clapham Junction.
A Super Off Peak Return from MK to Stoke on London Midland Trains only with Senior Railcard is £11.20.
So total could be only £33.45 that way.
The above assumes you are not returning the same day.
If you are returning the same day, and can plan a week ahead, there are other cheaper options so post again.
Oops... Just seen you said period return.
Info from London Midland Trains website and Southern Railway website.0 -
