Train Cost
I'm going to Prime Ministers Questions on the 20th June, week before Blair stands down!
I'm stupid and left it till now to book train tickets. I need to be there by 12:30 and the cheapest I can come up with on virgin website is £62.90 there and £62.90 back for two people. This is quite expensive still.. is there any way to get it cheaper? I'll be going anyway so will have to fork it out if I can't get it cheaper.. but was wondering if anybody knew anything about trains that I didn't. Ps. Whats semi-flexible because thats what those tickets are. |

I don't have one no. If im getting two tickets must I have a young persons railcard for both tickets? I assume so? Where do I go to book this £42.20 thing? because I can get a rail card, which would make it £62.20 again but it means I can save on future train journeys dosn't it. :) |
Re: Train Cost
Heh, thats not expensive, when I travel to London for work we have to buy open returns at ~£150

Yep, railcard for individual person only. You should be able to get it from Accy station, I got my family railcard from there. As a general rule if you make more than 1 train journey a year a railcard will pay for itself. Don't know how much the bus is to Manchester but on the day you want to go to London you can still pick up a single ticket for £12.85 each way ( with railcard :) ) from Manchester Piccadily |

Re: Train Cost
The funny thing about this is that it's probably a reverse logic journey. Most people travel by train, have a kip on the way and feel relaxed when they get there. This one will probably be a case of staying awake on the train so you can have a sleep when you get there :rofl38:

In that case Manchester cheap price is no good because it gets in to Euston at 12.31 :) |

Re: Train Cost
Cyfr,
Megabus are doing 2 seats for £10 each way Manchester to London megabus.com - low cost intercity travel in the UK IIRC the first bus from accy is ~6:30 so you might need to get a lift into M/c (speak nicely to your friendly local techie and I could drop you off, You can make your own way home though :D That should give you return journey for ~£13 each |
