I'm looking for most cost effective way to travel between King's Cross and Newcastle at super off peak times. Sometimes one overnighter a week, sometimes three.
The tickets must be walk-up only (no Advances) and must be valid on trains that only stop at York and Darlington.
Any pointers appreciated, prepared to use any valid combination of singles, returns and rovers.
Single leg pricing has its plus points but I'm finding open return fares are better value - shopping around a bit it's apparent they're cheaper than buying two of those singles and more flexible. Like the other week I was able to stay over in Leeds on the way back and pay a visit to the Barnsley bus scrapyards among other things that day. Not possible with a single.
I've looked at flying - British Airways in Club Europe is pricing up at 50p each way, but is less flexible and more effort for a negligible time saving, so is not my first choice. Three hours on a LNER train is preferable.
Many thanks in advance!
