Hi Guys,
i have been told you guys are the best in the know! here goes;
Im due to start a new job in Stowmarket (i live in norwich) on the 21/11/2011.
I will be leaving norwich monday to thursday on the 07:05am train arriving in stowmarket @ 07:34. I will be returning to Norwich on the 17:19pm train arriving in norwich @ 17:53.
On the friday I will leave norwich normal time, but will return on the 12:50 pm train from stowmarket to Norwich (half day woo woo).
I have looked at season tickets and would consider an annual ticket (its £2300!!!!). I am also expecting to be doing an occasional bit of travelling away from the country on a fairly regular basis so i think a monthly ticket is probably a better bet (i will have the possibility of 46 days holiday over the course of a year so that would take back the saving between 12 x monthly season tickets (£2649.60) if i only used 11 (with correct planning of course
Now does anyone know of a way to reduce this cost at all? I have looked into splitting my journey at Diss (inbetween norwich and stowmarket) but this has worked out more expensive when i have tried.
Im a 30 year old single guy with no disabilities so i dont think im elligble for any of the fantastic rail cards either!
does anyone have any ideas as to how i could save some money as its horrendously expensive at the moment. thanks everyone
Adrian
