Wouldn't train be still £220 for 3 people travelling together, or is GroupSave not available Crewe-Norwich for some reason? And car fuel cost would increase a bit to move another person and their stuff, so train may actually be more competitive for 3 than 2.
An update earlier today. Glad it’s correct now.
There is no groupsave from Crewe to Norwich. And I doubt that a car’s fuel economy would differ much between two people and three.
Family and friends is available only for the seats. The more are already multi-room products aimed at families that offer a substantial discount.
That update actually caused me a delay completing my booking as it started in between my booking the northbound and booking the southbound, with the result that all the southbound data was blank for about an hour or so until they told me by e-mail to try again as they'd finished whatever the upgrade they were doing was.
Groupsave isn't available on all routes or with all TOCs.
It may be that I haven’t fully woken up yet but what is a CD Railcard? (This is not a sarcastic question intended to make fun of any potential typo, I would like to help.)
For me, part of the pleasure of travelling by train is eating a decent meal any chance I get, although perhaps not wine with breakfast. I've dined on the GWR Pullman, and enjoyed it, so I'm very sorry that they've stopped the cook-on-board.
Good to hear that I didn't miss out on saving. I only wondered as on the Night Riviera it was possible- anyone know why that is the case?
Don't worry. If electric cars use so little fuel cost wise then the government will just whack up the price of road tax. Oh hang on that way you will not save much money by not using your car !. Of course they might come up with a clever thing like road pricing. But there is already a thread on that somewhere that I cannot find yet.
Same here. I’d happily pay to upgrade my remaining six tickets but I don’t think I’ll buy another Flexipass now I have a Senior Railcard which only gives discount on individual bookings.
Solo passengers sharing cabins was discontinued two or three years ago now, so you'll have a room to yourself however you book it.
There hasn’t been a sharing (with a stranger) option in the rooms for several years.
It was deliberate policy decision made as part of the transition to the more up-market brand - which is why I said it was two or three years ago and not "because of Covid". If I recall correctly it took effect a little while before the new stock was introduced.
It won’t ever return. It was removed before the pandemic. Most customers didn’t like it.
Find yourself one and book a cabin with her, then
That won’t be happening, as I said. Things are complex enough as it is. The market for sharing is negligible.
