I've just been to check out MML's new advance fares, and it looks rather darn good, here are an example from Loughborough - St. Pancras.
So it looks like I could do an off peak Adult Round Trip without a Young Persons Railcard to London for as little as £6, or £19 peak time, now that is bloody good value, and the best thing is, these are single tickets, so you can mix and match, and purchase say an MML Advance F for the Morning, and an MML Advance C for the return at night.
All tickets are subject to availability and must be booked before 1800 the day before travel, however tickets are limited on each train and passengers are advised to book well in advance, and you must travel on the train for which you are booked on.
And with Railcard Discounts, this could be a very cheap deal that MML are offering, who needs their constant £15 return to London deal when you have the Advance C-I Tickets.
Advance C seems to only be available on a very limited number of trains at around Lunchtime, Advance D is available on a few more from around 10am-3pm, and most other Advance tickets are available on most trains, First Advance A also seems to only be available around Lunchtime.
Very good idea, and it seems to be much better than Virgin Value 14 Day ticket things.
Code:
MML Advance C £6.00 - Not Valid Peak Time
MML Advance D £7.50 - Not Valid Peak Time
MML Advance E £8.50
MML Advance F £10.00
MML Advance G £12.00
