If you're going to specify both the route and trains there isn't much that can be done to find cheaper tickets! The only thing you can do is try to see if there's any splits available using www.trainsplit.com.

Ok so a through ticket for those trains would be:

From LEAMINGTON SPA
To WREXHAM GENERAL
Route ANY PERMITTED
Type SVR
Adult £29.45
Child £8.50

Total £38.00

The absolutely cheapest I can find for a fellow Wrexham member....

From LEAMINGTON SPA
To TELFORD
Route ANY PERMITTED
Type SVR
Adult £12.00
Child £3.45

AND

From TELFORD
To WREXHAM GENERAL
Route ANY PERMITTED
Type SVR
Adult £11.60
Child £3.35

Total £30.40 Saving £7.60

However that doesn't allow you to use your chosen trans as you need to stop at Telford Cental.

So how about this which will allow you to.

From LEAMINGTON SPA
To SHREWSBURY
Route ANY PERMITTED
Type SVR
Adult £14.45
Child £4.15


AND

From SHREWSBURY
To WREXHAM GENERAL
Route ANY PERMITTED
Type SVR
Adult £10.15
Child £2.95

Total £31.70 Saving £6.30

Please note all prices are quoted as Family and Friends Railcard Prices

A shame that a loophole I knew in that area got closed down, it could have brought the price down below £25 had it still been around.

Thanks! Are those returns valid for outward travel on the Friday and return travel on the Sunday? The trains on both outward and return stop at Telford according to RTT.

Thanks again!

Of course they stop at Telford Cental, I had Telford and Cosford mixed up in my head when thinking about where stuff would stop!

Yes valid for out Friday back on Sunday.

Thanks! That is the ticket we will use then.
