    Any new destination from Preswick up to 6 months from start qualify for "FREE" rail travel.
    There after its "HALF PRICE"
    Heres the link

    Lightbulb moment

    Im thinking , penny + tax flights. Free rail travel. Obviously change Glasgow/Edinburgh to get to Prestwick.Split ticketing thing.Im thinking Inter city to Glasgow/Edinburgh for the cost of ryanair flights.
    ie free routes at moment are
    Riga, Derry and Grenoble.Derry being UK will be dearer as Gordons green tax will be both ways but riga is possible. Grenoble finishes the winter season on 16 April. so wont be available till next season in which case it will only be "half price rail travel"

    RETURN FARE PRESTWICK/RIGA with 2 penny flights is £19.32 You dont need baggage coz you arent really going to take the flight= FREE RAIL TRAVEL

    RETURN FARE PRESTWICK/DERRY with 2 penny flights is £36.60
