Hitchin to London Euston travel help please.

Please can anyone help. I have tried myself but things are stressful. My daughter is in Hospital, tomorrow she is being moved to a hospital in London Euston. She is 23 weeks pregnant and things aren't looking good. Her hubbie needs to travel possibly daily,to see and support her.Although his work will give him the time off as per the norm its the money.
Is there a travel share group from Hitchin to London,maybe even Euston (i think its called car share)
Any way of getting it cheaper on the train than £15.50?
As i type i am wondering if it might be cheaper to stay in a hotel,YMCA etc.
Sorry if this is in the wrong place and i am grateful for any help.

    If her hubbie is going to travel every day for a week then a 7 day season ticket (to Kings Cross) is £84.20 - Euston is then easily walkable

    Not sure where the £15.50 comes from though - I can't find a ticket that cheap. An off peak day return is £16.90
  • Thank you dzug appreciate it.

    Virgin fare finder spits out a ticket for £12.00 depending on times. You could try megabus they had a ticket down to London for £1.00.

    Nevermind Tue train was from Manchester

  • mega bus doesn't have any towns near us on it's list of stops.

    Will look into the virgin tickets.

    any other ideas greatly received.
