    Wait until Advance Singles are available (roughly 12 weeks before your journey).
    Use split tickets
    Buy a Railcard.

    Potentially, the cost would be around £75.00 (+ the Railcard).  £107 otherwise.

    LNER release tickets up to as many as 26 weeks from date of travel.  Lumo have the cheapest advance tickets, but only from 12 weeks from date of travel.

    I use trainsplit.com
    The website helps you find the cheapest tickets.  Sometimes you might have a long connection time you can consider whether it's worth paying more for a faster service.

    It may be worth looking at Megabus too if you want cheap. Takes a little bit longer but seems to be from about £40 each return.
