Neville Neville Neville 0 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Got a week off coming up, and I was hoping to catch up with some old friends. Basically that will involve travelling from the south of england to the north east, then down to yorkshire, then onto cardiff, then back to the south. I've worked out that I will be making 3 single journeys and 1 return over a period of 9 days at most. I've got a young persons railcard, but I was wondering if anyone knew of any other way I could cut down the expensive rail costs, apart from booking in advance. Are there any 1 week passes that aren't hideously expensive that would suit me? Or perhaps a single website that could work out the cheapest fares Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neville Neville Neville 0 Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Just realised that if someone is a whizzkid at this sort of thing they might want a bit firmer details: 1/ Oxford to Sheffield on Friday/Saturday 2/ Sheffield to Newcastle - day return on Saturday or Sunday to watch a big game 3/ Sheffield to Cardiff on Tuesday 4/ Cardiff to Oxford on Friday/Saturday found a 7 day rover that allows travel on all lines, which would be £245 with a railcard - but I'm guessing singles would be cheaper http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/...4e/details.html any help?

Guest alex Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 £245!!! Fuck me, just book a week in barcelona and meet them all there They won't be there though. Got to be nearly as cheap to hire a car though, I'd have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normal 0 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Singles are always cheaper - especially with a rialcard. the further in advance you can book them the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
