Once you've entered you're journey details, click on teh box that says £5 singles adn you can see whaich trains are avaialbel for the whole day. Also they haev a new 'find the lowest fare' button that shows the cheapest outward and retuen fare combination, either two singles or a return

  • Hehehe, I thought a day trip to the Science Museum was on the cards when I saw this. The earliest £5 train I can find from Wakefield to London is 11:54. The latest £5 return train is 90 minutes before I get there!
  • Booked 3 tickets from Newcastle to London on the 7:30am train Sat 17th November and returning on the 7:30pm. Very pleased as usually it's hard to do this in a single day using promotional tickets.

    We're also going to York on 1st December for some Christmas shopping - well okay, a drink!

    Their are tickets available from Edinburgh to London, so you might like to try booking Dundee to Edinburgh & then Edinburgh to London & back.

    Is Dundee on the GNER network? It's only for stations that are directly served by GNER, and excludes any connections as far as I can see.

    I've just booked Glasgow to Doncaster return for my parents, but it wouldn't give me any fares when I tried to start the journey at their local station.
  • Yay. Christmas visit to Edinburgh booked. Doncaster to Edinburgh £20 return for 2 adults.

    Thanks MSE :beer:

  • Just one wee query. Will these fares be honoured when National Express take over the franchise from the 9th of December?
