Three tips, book as early as possible, use a railcard under 25, family etc if possible and break your trip where possible. ie Wakefield to Doncater to Retford to Peterborough to london can work out quite a bit cheaper than Wakefield to London even if you don't move seats on the same train.

Plus last time I caught the fruit gum it broke down in the late eighties Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
