All ticket selling websites will sell those tickets.

Not wishing to speak on behalf of Yorkie, but I find East Coast website the easiest to understand and book from.

You might like to read MSE's Cheap Train Tickets article where basic split ticketing principles are explained.

Sorry, yes I should have said, get them from the East Coast website, as EC give discounts on many of their Advance fares, there are no booking or card fees, and I find the interface easier to use than some others.

For Norwich - Yorkshire, it's usually cheaper to buy one ticket, but it can be cheaper to buy tickets for the separate legs, "splitting" at Peterborough.

Reservations have to be open, and there must also be availability, for both EC and East Midlands Trains (EMT) for the through fares to be available from Norwich.

AS your husband is into train, York would be my suggestion as you have the railway museum, a great place for any train fans.

Hello Forumites.

Apologies for re-opening such an old thread, but I came across it while researching the train booking feature of the Skyscanner app with the attention of adding it to the Cheap Train Tickets guide.

As such I thought I'd ask if any of you had used the Skyscanner app to book train tickets and, if so, how you'd found the experience?

Thanks in advance for your time and help,

MSE Kelvin

PS: Hope you eventually found what you were looking for, @Seanymph!
