Do cheap train tickets exist?
Answers:
Yes they do - visit. www.qjump.co.uk
If you book in advance you can go pretty much anywhere in the uk for minimum £18 return. Make sure you book two singles though. Good Luck
yeah some times i can get home from uni for 19.50 id i book early other times when its late then its in the hundreds! decembers probably already booked cos its xmas time, try someother dates
u should find cheap train tickets on the internet somewhere
Phone them up several times and check on internet, you will get offered a different price each time, keep doing it til you get a reasonable price.
Some of those cheap tickets do seem to be non-existent (Leeds -> Glasgow in my experience) while there are some you can get (London - Leeds) but it has to be about 2 weeks in advance.
NEVER seen one.
Yep, I can get return Sheffield to London return first class from as little as 40 quid if I book in advance. If I leave it to the day it costs me (well, my employers) about 150 quid...
I found one about a year ago and it reduced my cost from £145 to about £46 but i had to phone every day for about 2 weeks to get the advance tickets as they only release them at certain times. Good luck!!
Saw a prog and the best way is to get single ticket to part of your destination then another for the rest of the way, can't remember all the tricks but give it a thought using train timetable,on and off peak.
Yes they do exist. The train companies have to provide cheap fares (Apex or Cheap Day Returns depending on route) as part of their licence. Your route would be the Apex fares where you have to book in advance. You have to buy before they are sold out.
They do, but generally there aren't very many. Try www.trainline.co.uk
Sometimes it is cheaper to get 2 single tickets too!!
In England use www.thetraintline.com for train times/routes and prices
Simple answer is yes but most rail companies now operate like airlines. When there is heavy demand, for example bank holidays, football matches the price stays high. In general if you book in advance for a long journey you can get good prices. I've booked Gatwick to Cheltenham for £7, Birmingham to London for £10. The trick is to a) plan ahead and b) look on the website for the train company which covers the largest part of your journey. Be prepared to break journies up into smaller segments and get separate tickets for each one. For example Birmingham to Newcastle is about £20 cheaper with cheap day returns for each stage of the route. Most cheap tickets come with the condition that you have to travel on a specified train and there are heavy penalties for changing your requirements.
I agree with DaisyDoo
www.thetrainline.com
is the BEST cheap rail travel I have ever used or seen. I get to travel lst class too because it is so cheap!
Yes you can get cheap train tickets, it just depends on the time of day you are traveling but you do need to book in advance. Check on the trainline.co.uk or go to your local booking office where they will be able to search for the cheap tickets for you too. There are also railcards which you may qualify for depending on your circumstances, a young person's railcard (if your between 16-25) or a senior's railcard (over 60).
