Uttoxeter to Grange-over-Sands

[Coolguy22468]

I am going to Grange-over-Sands on Tuesday until Saturday from Uttoxeter, the cheapest fair I can get for it is £35 and is via Manchester. Does anyone know how to get it any cheaper?

How did you get that?
Advance?

Off-peak to manchester and advance to grange.

I assume that £35 fare you quoted is the total fare for the return journey?

On flexible tickets it's possible to get close to this, provided you don't mind the stoppers between Manchester and Preston. Whether it's worth it or not depends upon whether or no you're happy to commit to advance tickets.

Otherwise, there is a possible combination via Wigan. Again, it's a fiver more than advance tickets, but you might consider that worth it for the flexibility, especially since this would allow you to use the WCML between Crewe and Lancaster. Oh yes, and the Uttoxeter to Wigan ticket would allow a free first class upgrade on the Saturday between Wigan and Crewe.
