There's some cheap advance singles availble on those dates;

Edinburgh to London Kings Cross 11:00 £15.85 Advance Single with YP R'card
London Kings Cross to Edinburgh 06:15 or 07:00 or 08:00 £21.45 Advance single with YP R'card

Total £37.30

There is other advance singles on those dates but the price is more expensive if you want to travel at a different time.

Scotsman rail offer 'my rail deal' thats the Password but you need the Voucher that was in the Scotsman/Scotsman on Sunday to validate your tickets when traveling

Hello, I am travelling down to Cornwall on Friday 20th and returning Monday 23rd about 2pm

I was looking for a train ticket

Twickenham to Redruth (after 2pm) Friday 20th February

Returning

Redruth to Twickenham (after 2pm) Monday 23rd February


The cheapest i can find is about £79 pounds, thats well steep.

I do have a network railcard but doesnt cover me that far.

Also i did try some split ticketing programme that i downloaded but didnt get any cheaper and it doesnt have the option to use network railcard, as it would cover me to exeter so i am told?

Really would appreciate some help.

Thanks

Advance single 16.10 from Twickenham-Reading via Bracknell, then Reading-Redruth £34.50
Advance single 16.29 from Redruth £15.50
Total £50

Advance singles are only valid on the train booked.

Cheers peeps, i decided to get the slower night train saves the price of a bed and breakfast, that means get to Redruth at 7.22am Saturday morning. £44 quid, so well happy with that.

On the other hand, I Hope I don't snore and wake everyone up haha, now that would be embarrassing.

Apologies if posted in wrong thread.

Can someone help me. I've bought these offer tickets, and now I can't travel on those dates. What can I do? Can I sell it? If so, where and how.

4 x London - Glasgow (£40.00) - 13-02-09 Special offer
1 x London - Glasgow (£77.00) - 13-02-09 Advanced Single

Return
4 x Glasgow - London - 14-02-09 Special offer tickets
1 x Glasgow - London - 14-02-09 Advanced single

I would like to put them to good use and get some money out of it, instead of it going in the bin.

The only places online to sell Train tickets are;
www.craigslist.com or maybe www.gumtree.com

You can't sell them on Ebay as its against their rules and their very good at removing/closing that auction if you do try

Or you could try the local Free ads, shop window or word of mouth to friends
