Travelling down to Cornwall to meet my family for a holiday in July and have been taken aback by how much the fare might be so trying to figure out the cheapest way to get there.
Reckon it'll be around £60 each way using a combination of advance fares via AXC or EC & FGW but would need to book pretty sharpish.
However had a look on Megatrain & it seems if you book the furthest away weekend you can at the moment (26th May) it's only £10 from London to Exeter! Had a look at booking later on the same day from Exeter to Penzance & it's only £6 even though it's another 3 hours!
If I booked York to London as soon as it comes out that's about £15, add a couple of quid for the tube journey and that makes York to Penzance for £33 each way... If I got the megaplus bus-train down from York to London for £1 the whole thing could be £19!
That has the cheapest way to get to Cornwall, unless anyone can think of any better!
Only thing is it's a bit of a risk for me as the fares obviously don't get released until a lot later which means that if anything went wrong or they stop doing them, I'd be paying a lot more by then.
What is the Waterloo - Exeter journey like?
