I am looking to book a Fare from London Marylebone to Birmingham Moor Street. This is a Saturday day return, however I don’t know when I will be coming back, so I’m looking at an open return. In addition, I want to have as much flexibility as possible for the return journey (ie use a VT service if I need to).
I’ve completed a search on Trainline and Chiltern – there is a Off Peak Return @ £226.80 for 4 people on any permitted route. I believe this is a SVR fare.
However , I then see a Off Peak Return @ £149.80 for 4 people using a Groupsave – also any permitted.
Clearly it would make sense to go for the £149.80 fare – however they way that discount Fare is presented on the Trainline and Chiltern site is that you can’t select that fare for the VT service. However as its any permitted – I think it should be valid.
Does anyone have a view if the £149.80 fare would be Valid on the VT Service?
