Hi,
I currently work at Birmingham University and commute from Ashchurch.
A monthly Season Ticket is £316, and I am looking to bring this down. I realise I am very limited on routes due to it being direct, and the few trains that stop at Ashchurch. The outgoing train I catch goes straight to University with no stops. The Return stops at Bromsgrove. Both trains are run by Cross Country.
Is there anyway I can bring the price down?
I've had a search and found a few mentions of some routes like this: http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=40437&highlight=ashchurch
The post at the bottom of that page by paul211 seems interesting but I don't know the ins and outs of these things and would really appreciate some help.
I suspect that there will be no cheaper option, but if you don't ask you don't get.
Thanks in advance
