I've made some last minute plans to go and see a friend in London this weekend. I usually book any trips to London in advance so I've had come to terms with the higher prices. I wonder if there's anything you can do to get the price down even further?
First of all I have a railcard, and I'm travelling from Bradford. I'm wanting to get into London early afternoon (12-2pm). If it's a lot cheaper then I could arrive a little earlier or later. I'm then wanting to return on the Sunday, getting me back at 7pm at the latest (in time for the quarter final
).
The cheapest I've found so far is:
Sat 23rd: 10:22 Grand Central Service to Kings Cross: £22.45
Sun 24th: Numerous EC to Leeds then change: £29.80 (with EC online 10% discount).
TOTAL: £52.25
Can you do any better? Annoyingly I have enough points to obtain a free standard EC return on their website. However, you need to book that 7 days in advance apparently. Shame, that would have been perfect!
