I am looking to make a trip to Aberdeen on 15th Feb, returning 17th Feb
So far I have found the following options:
* Rail Advances £52 each way, dep 0636 arr 1303 Fri 15th, return journey 1147 arr 1832 Sun 17th total £104
* Flybe BHX - Aberdeen totals £100.27
* National Express £73.50 return, depart 0500 arrive 1735 or 1135 arrive 2120, return 1120 arrive 2340.
* Megabus £34 each way departs 0235 arr 1135 Fri 15th, return journey 1915 arr 0400 Monday morning (this is really too late) total £68
Ideally I am looking to get the train fare down to roughly the cost of the megabus fare if possible. Last time I did this trip I paid £22 each way on Megabus but had to write the Monday off when I got back so I don't want to do overnight on the Megabus if I can avoid it.
Willing to look at going to London and getting a bargain berth on the sleeper up on night of Thu 14th and the same back Sunday night provided I can get back to Birmingham by 10:00.
As always, any help appreciated, a combination of the above is possible or if anyone can advise any good places to split advance tickets, that would be great.
