Bristol to Carlisle by Train

sarahjw

Hi, I would like to travel on Feb 10th (Saturday) to Carlisle and back by train, getting there for about 1.30pm and travelling back after 5.15pm. I want to go with my son (13) and I have a family railcard. I have tried splitting the journey and looking at single tickets but can't get the price much below £75. Any help or advice from more experienced train travellers would be very welcome

Thanks

That's for one adult at normal prices
From the looks of it you have to have the break in Brum both ways as the trains from Bristol to Carlisle via Brum don't have cheap tickets on both segments
