    Have found return prices as low as £34:50 p.p. HERE but more realistically £44. Try looking for 2 singles and check various times of the day to locate the cheaper prices. Not sure when you want to return, not many cheap fares for the Sunday but they are there.

    Go after 10am if poss and before 3pm, there after go after 6pm once rush hour is open.

    Peak times means the cheapy tickets get booked up very quickly.
