Title: Train tickets Post by: Sippo on Friday, July 18, 2008, 07:33:57 Cheapest way to get train tickets to laaaaaandon town?
Usually its swindon to didcot, then didcot to london? But this seems to work out more expensive? I'm going on the 8th returning on the 11th. any idea's? I do know someone with a rail card but I'm guessing they check? Title: Re: Train tickets Post by: Simon Pieman on Friday, July 18, 2008, 07:55:09 Sometimes they check the railcard, sometimes not. Usually I hand it over with my ticket for inspection anyway.
What times are you travelling? I did peak times and you save a lot with advance singles (half price) Title: Re: Train tickets Post by: Sippo on Friday, July 18, 2008, 08:03:21 Can travel anytime. I thought it was cheaper to book offpeak?
Title: Re: Train tickets Post by: Simon Pieman on Friday, July 18, 2008, 08:10:04 It is, I assumed peak time as that's the time people travel most.
Anyway, 2 singles total £17.50 which is cheap as you like. I haven't checked the didcot option.

Title: Re: Train tickets Post by: Simon Pieman on Friday, July 18, 2008, 08:39:27 I selected 11am for both trips and then highlighted the cheapest ticket option. Not sure what times exactly, between 11 and 12 though.

The other possibility is the megabus. Is this any good? Title: Re: Train tickets Post by: Arriba on Friday, July 18, 2008, 11:07:52 megabus seem to spend alot of time on the hard shoulder.
Title: Re: Train tickets Post by: LucienSanchez on Friday, July 18, 2008, 11:15:10 I've never had a problem with Megabus. Dirt cheap if you book enough in advance too
Title: Re: Train tickets Post by: Sippo on Thursday, August 14, 2008, 16:46:13 Megabus was ok. Plenty of leg room and only took and an hour and half. Definately worth doing, and cheaper than the train.
Fifteen was ace aswell in london. A plate of steak. Ummmm. Title: Re: Train tickets Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Thursday, August 14, 2008, 17:04:12 You can get train tickets to london for £7.50 now
