cheaper rail fares!

Advance - Southern railway

Stone me, with a YP railcard, you can go to London and back for only £4quid on THURSDAY, that's booking only ONE day ahead.

(It's only £6quid without too).

There hasn't been much fanfare to this announcement as I'm sure Southern wish to keep it quiet but NSC, get on THIS bargain.

Well bugger me with a fish fork.

That IS good value, no fancy group booking rubbish either.

Why only Thursday?

Why only Thursday?

I meant from Thursday onwards. I can't book it for Tomorrow, but from Thursday onwards, you can book for £3 each way.

So could i book my ticket now for Millwall away?

Ah! OK, good deal then!

I think the booking system goes to 12 weeks in advance, so not yet, but I may be wrong.

But when it's December you will be able to.

Sorry, maybe I'm just being stupid, but how exactly do you buy them? I see nothing on there other than a link to national rail, which then just charges you £20ish. Do you have to register and log in to see the £3 stuff?

Bizarrely enough, its on the nationalexpress booking website for some reason!

National Express Train tickets for travel to London, York, Leeds, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow


But put in Brighton to London Victoria in journey planner and select Thursday onwards, and you'll get the fare offered.

I then assume you can collect the tickets from the machines at Brighton.

Like I say, it is almost as if they are trying to keep it a secret.

Fine work, bigc. Thanks

Your welcome!

Seeing as it more than halves the price, it really is good for saving us all a few pounds, which is what we deserve!

Despite all the criticism, certain rail prices seem to be dropping at the moment and I hope it is a general trend that continues.

 

[CHAPPERS]

That's f***ing sweet. Excellent work.

 

[bhafc4eva]

Sorry for being stupid are these only if you book on line or can you buy from the station on the day?

Presumably I'm subsidising this with the £400 a month I pay them. Thanks.

cant see em selling any tickets at a loss, this is probably the "real" price

I would think they have a finite amount of tickets that can be sold for £3 so you are unlikely to be able to buy on the day.

Thanks, that makes it even worse value for me then !
