I wish to make the following journeys in the near future:
Fri 19 Sep: Birmingham-Exeter
Mon 22 Sep: Exeter-Scarborough
Fri 26 Sep: Scarborough-Birmingham
When staying in Scarborough I intend to make a couple of day trips to the NRM at York.
Any ideas for the best tickets to buy to minimise the cost? (Note: Off-peak walk-on or rover/ranger tickets only; ie no advances). I am not entitled to any railcard. Any routes considered, provided I arrive at the three long-haul destinations in time for an evening meal at a reasonable hour.
The challenge is to come in cheaper than 87.70+80.80+17.90+17.90=204.30, which is the cost of an off-peak return from Birmingham to Exeter, one from Birmingham to Scarborough and two off-peak day returns from Scarborough to York.
