Travelling to York on 04/12

top_drawer_2

hello,

I need to travel to York from Preston on the 04/12 - one off journey but need to arrive by around 9.15 as need to then make my way to somewhere else.

I think the 0654 - 0921 is probably the one I want to take but I cant seem to get it any cheaper than £26.60 - surely not?

Not too bothered about timings for returning as will be finished by 3pm ish.

As its a fair bit in advance I was hoping to get something a bit cheaper ..... not looking good though atm. I don't know the area but is there maybe a route which includes the above but isnt as expensive .... as I seem to be able to cover lots of distances Manchester Pic to London Euston (from £12) or Newcastle to London Kings Cross (£16.85) cheaper than I can do the journey I want to do.

Thanks

The 6.05am train costs £13 one way. TransPennineExpress.

Change at Manchester Oxford Road. Arrive in York at 8.35am.

Travel direct on Northern Rail and an Anytime Return costs less than £30. But you can't use the TPE services.

Book via the Southern Railways link in TopCashback and get 6% of any fare back.

Advance fares are typically only available on journeys involving express trains, not just services that call at most or all stations.
