Salisbury to Twickenham

[hantsman1205]

This will be for return travel on a Sunday, no rail cards, Can't use megatrain as tickets not available on a sunday. Will leave on a Friday in April 2012 return sunday

A return is £36.70

A single is £30.80

Groupsave no good as only two pax Adults


I intend to try and get the megatrain for around £7.50 for 2 pax on the friday going up there but it looks like a return fare is going to be cheaper. I tried via Woking.

Advances seem like they could be useful, but they aren't on sale yet for that journey.

They don't do advances from what I have seen, Because its going into London, they don't need to

Just to note that will restrict the OP to the hourly service that calls at Grately due to the fact that the train must call at the stations where you change from one ticket to another.

Would a Network card be any good if you are going to travel after 10 Mon - Fri or at weekends within the south east occasionally?

It's worse that that by the looks, because the OP is travelling on a Sunday (which I missed) so the Grately service is even more restricted.

I think I would stick to the through ticket, if I were the OP.

Yep every 2 hours on Sunday.

Its rather difficult trying to find cheap fares down here when heading towards London.
