Hi, Just a few things I would like to say first. First of all, thank you for your help on my recent thread asking for help on a ticket to London. Secondly I would like to apologize to the mods and anyone else who was offended by my post earlier today about how I don't like tennis (Which has since been removed)
Fare help for tickets between Capenhurst and Falmouth
My family have decided we are not going abroad this year, so we have booked a cottage in Falmouth. I get carsick very easily, so a 5+ hour journey isn't for me.
Capenhurst(CPU) to Falmouth town(FMT)
I will be travelling on Friday 17th August and want to travel at 7am or earlier.
The return will be on Friday 31st August and want to travel at about 11am ish.
The fares will be 1 adult 1 child, with a family and friends railcard
I want to travel via London Euston and Paddington with a direct train from Paddington to Truro. If this is not the cheapest, I would like travel via Birmingham, with a direct train from Birmingham to Truro. Again if this is not the cheapest, i would like an alternate route.
My findings
I have looked on trainscanbecheaper.info and it's not the best site as there is no railcard option or passenger option so I don't know what the fares apply for.
The final fare has come out at: £281.00-very expensive
I have looked at National rail enquiries and found the cheapest ticket with my criteria would be around £120.00 (can't get a definite price as it's really complicated)
I'm convinced I can get a cheaper fare but I don't know where to find them though. So could I please ask if anyone could find a cheaper fare following my criteria? Any answers will be Very much appreciated and considered.
Thank you very much
