StewartyMac Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Heading away for another weekend in London in early June, and I notice the cheapest return (train) I can find is around £108. This is considerably more expensive than the same journey last year. Does anyone have any good tips to get cheaper rail fares from either Edinburgh or Glasgow to London (preferably Edinburgh, as it's a better journey). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StewartyMac Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Aye, it was trainline I got the £108 return price from. Probably going to have to bite the bullet and spend that I reckon. Annoying, as I got a return for around £70 for the same dates last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaking Decency Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) How about National Express? I don't think they do Funfares Scotland<->London but they might still have some deals on.

Andy Dufresne Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Megabus will surely have something then? Uncomfortable but cheap. Megabus had a link with Virgin Rail and myself and my wife travelled from Glasgow to Manchester for £2.50 for the both of us 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll maybe wait until next weekend, and try searching again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, no, it's more than 12 weeks, so the cheap fares aren't on sale yet and the prices you're being quoted are the off-peak rather than advance prices. Check back next Friday for the outward journey and next Monday for the return. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
