Hi there

Myself and another adult will travel from Cumbria to London by train midweek in June (going there one day, coming back the next). Please could you tell me the best way to get a good deal on this?

Thanks! :)

    I've found that 2 singles can be cheaper than a return journey.

    Martin has also done an article on this which may give you further info.

    Book in advance (ie NOW) on the Virgin Trains website. Click on the link to advance single fares and look for value tickets.
