I'll be making this journey many times over the next three months, normally aiming to reach Cardiff as early as possible, and returning a few days later in the evening.
Journey times are more or less the same via Manchester (rather than XC from Leeds via Birmingham), and it's far cheaper to split at Manchester (both with Open returns and Advances), especially as the Off Peak Return from Manchester to Cardiff is valid on any train.
Are there any other splits to reduce the total fare even further?
