MrsEricNorthman Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 Lol I am sure I will recognise one of you - my hair's the same colour as yours but maybe a little shorter. I will probably have it curly too, lol! Have you guys pre-booked your train tickets or are you just purchasing them at the station? x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackviolett Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Lol, there's nothing sad about that I was debating if to book it online or not....?x I always book mine online as you can get up to 40% off when booking online. I travel a lot on trains and its so much easier and cheaper to have them pre booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanggirl Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I used the trainline and had them delivered to my house :) ouch! Thetrainline charges a booking fee! Use firstgreatwestern.co.UK in future.

MrsEricNorthman Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 I am getting in a right tizz trying to look at tickets - after 6pm on the Sunday - does anyone know if this is classed as off peak? I am looking at booking from Brum to N'Hampton Fri morning and then returning Sun night after 6pm? Thanks peeps and so sorry to be a pain. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackness Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 On thetrainline.com my tickets were off peak and it halved the price. And I'm travelling Fri morning and Sunday night after 6 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking at booking from Brum to N'Hampton Fri morning and then returning Sun night after 6pm? Thanks peeps and so sorry to be a pain. x any time on a weekend is off-peak (that's what I've always been told) I book a LOT of train tickets. The reason I'm not prebooking for this is because even when the advance tickets went on sale, they were only half the price of a saver rerturn where I'm not stuck to only traveling on one train!

MrsEricNorthman Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 Thanks for your help girls - I think the £15 must be right as one of the trains is at the weekend and the other is lunchtime-ish on the Friday. I think I will book them and collect them at the station. x x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackviolett Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I use east coast trains. They dont charge a booking fee and if I can save even £10 I will do it whether it means travelling on set train times or not. Why pay more?! I just got my friend a ticket from Lincoln to Leeds (which is a pain in the spam trip) for £13.50 return with only 1 change which is great.

If I could save £10 I'd get advance trains too, but I've been looking for the last 12 weeks and the cheapest single I could get was £30.50 and the return is only £52! the other site that doesn't charge booking fee is crosscountrytrains.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
