Good morning
This coming Saturday 27th July I am travelling from Leicester to London and return. I looked at split ticketing and can get two day returns (Leic to Kettering and Kettering to London). Total cost 45.78. I have a senior railcard which I presume brings that down to £30.52.
I was thinking of travelling first class. But.... EMT seem to have a weekend first class onboard offer of £12 for each way??
"At weekends you can upgrade to First Class on board our trains for just £12 each way, "
https://www.eastmidlandstrains.co.uk/travelling-with-us/first-class-train-travel/
My questions are:
1 Would I have to buy one of those £12 tickets for my journey from Leicester to London. Or would I have to buy two (L to K and K to Lon). Likewise on the way back. In other words would the upgrade cost me a total of £24 or £48?
2 Is there a cheaper way to get a first class return from Leicester to London?
Many thanks for any help
