Hello,
I'm going to make this return journey (probably two or three times yearly) and I'm looking for a sensibly priced ticket ... I'd like to stick with trains and avoid Megabus if at all possible
I prefer Chiltern to Virgin (they're usually cheaper and the trains far more comfortable)
So far, I've found these options:
- return ticket Aberystwyth<>Heathrow (the most expensive. There are tons of different Heathrow 'destinations' and I don't know which one to choose! Are they valid on the Connect/Express?)
- return ticket Aberystwyth<>Zone1-6 (or zone U6*
)
- return ticket Aberystwyth<>London + 2 Oyster fares on the Piccadilly Line
- advance tickets + Oyster
Is there something else to consider? What would you recommend?
I don't have a 16-25 Railcard yet, but I can buy one. Do I have to register my Oyster card to have the discount added, or can I get it done there&then?
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks very much
