Given the relative uncertainty of travel costs in the UK, it’s worth exploring all of the options for cheap travel, like rail bookings using thetrainline. Use the Best Fare Finder to locate the best deal or the Ticket Alert for notification when advance purchase options become available. You can even download a free application to buy tickets from your mobile. Want a package deal? You can select among train, hotel and theatre options for a customized experience. There’s even a carbon calculator for the environmentally conscious among you.



If you can fix your time advance tickets are available up to 12 weeks before travel date, these bargain fares can reduce the cost of your travel. If there are no advance purchase tickets left for your route you may want to look at splitting your ticket into smaller chunks. Check with National Rail where your train will be stopping and see if it is cheaper to buy in say 3 tickets rather than 1 from A to B.
