hello - I volunteered to look at tickets for a friend who needs to travel from Bangor to Thurso on a Saturday in May returning on the following Wednesday (not the BH week). She was quoted £175.80 for a return, but I managed to reduce it to £120.70 in my own way by the following:
Bangor - Crewe £10.50
Crewe - Perth £35.00
Perth - Inverness £25.10
Inverness - Thurso £12.40
Thurso - Glasgow £15.70
Glasgow - Bangor £22.00
The £175.80 fare is routed via Edinburgh, but via Glasgow is cheaper as far as I can make out, I have actually booked these tickets as she was very pleased with the cost saving. However, it is likely that she will be repeating this journey on a monthly basis for the next few months, dates unknown, but it would be Sat - Wed.
As far as I can see it is only possible leaving Bangor at 07h20 outward and Thurso 08h41 which give a reasonable arrival time for such a long trek.
I'd be grateful for any advice for the future journeys....ie have I managed to get the correct splits?...or is there something that I have missed?
Thanks to anyone in advance who is prepared to look at this.
