    Doing a search on National Express site, you can do it for £42.10

    though you'd still have to get to the bus station early

    If you were eligible for a coach card it could be worth getting one as that would reduce the fairs by 1/3 for a cost of £10 too.

    Also Quidco do 6.5% cashback
    somewhere between Heaven and Woolworth's

    But you do have Ken Olympia in the screen shot on #11. That should give you the Southern and LM routing and fares.
  • I have just tried the Ken Olympia search And it dose work and prices are cheaper with that
    But I have had a slight change of plan
    I am flying out of Gatwick and returning to Heathrow

    Ken Olympia tickets are out 10 quid cheaper then the others for single from Northampton to Gatwick
    Can I buy one of these at the train station?

    I have also done A search fo Heathrow to Northampton single
    But the ''show other routes'' tab has gone!

    For the return leg I would use the tube from Heathrow to Euston, and then buy a single from Euston to Northamption.

    Yes, you can buy all tickets at a station.

    ''show other routes'' doesn't show because there are no other routes to show.

    Do you think it will work out any cheaper if I buy the tube ticket first then Euston to Northampton ticket after?

    When I go to the station for my Northampton-Gatwick ticket

    Anytime Day Single valid via Kensington Olympia - £37.50.


    Depending on whether peak or off peak, the tube fare will be either £5.10 or £3.10 by Oyster or contactless card. Cash fare is £6.00.

    The Euston to Northampton fare will be £32.20 peak, or £26.90 offpeak.
