Look on the Trans Pennine Express site*, as they run from Warrington/Manchester - Newcastle. How ever, from Warrington, you will need to change at York as the train will goto Scarborough.

The best way is to buy advance singles soon after they are released.

For splits if this fails any or all of Bristol TM, Taunton, Exeter and Plymouth.

Hi,

I am starting University in September and will need to travel daily between Shotton ( Flintshire) and Bangor ( Gwynedd). I am entitled to a young persons railcard. I will have to do some journeys at peak time as will need to be there for 9am most days. Anyone any ideas on the cheapest way to do this, e.g day return, season ticket etc etc.

Thanks

I wanted to book a return ticket from Dunkeld & Birnam rail station (Near Perth in Scotland) to Peterborough. I thought I was going to have to pay £68.50 which included the use of my disabled railcard. However, I found that if I went on the same trains, but booked for Dunkeld to London Kings Cross, got two singles, 17.20 out and £22.20 back making the cost £39.40...I saved £27.90:T

Happy traveling, Lynn xx

I am trying to book tickets for a journey departing 4 November and returning 7 November from Middlesbrough or Darlington to London Kings Cross. I normally can find cheap prices booking this far in advance but the cheapest I can find this time are £190.00. Does anyone know why the price is so high? I have tried several sites and I am beginning to think it may be something to do with bonfire night on 5/11. Any advice welcome

Because if you look on the National Express site, you'll see that they are "now booking up to & including Friday 17 October".
