£83 London to Leicester - Joke


Recommended Posts

Just tried to book train tickets for next Friday .... £83 rtn London to Leicester. This is criminal price

Is anyone driving up from Central London and wanting to share petrol costs? Would like to get there early enough for a couple of pints though ;-)

Out today but will get back to you if you post

Regards

Well I've just looked on TrainLine for you on my trusty app and it's £58 for an open return on Friday. Departing STP 1358 and arriving in Lesta at 1500. But the last train back to STP out of Lesta is at 2158

And it would be £42 to book two singles according to eastcoast.co.uk

You're really going to be cutting it tight getting a train back with the last one being at 21:58, so my guess is you were always after a lift!

Anyway, here's a tip for cheap ass seats on normal trains.

Try http://uk.megabus.com but on the search select trains.

You can get a London to Leicester train on friday for between £12-£22 with them

Times always tend to be limited, for instance, latest train back on a Friday is 20:24, which would be no good... but for your outward journey it aint too bad.

The 21:58 on the trainline is only £15 quid anyway, so that'd be a total of £26 in total (including the trainline booking fee).

don't think you can beat that to be honest

Simple solution.

Get the £22 single journey, pull a mucky bird and kip at hers

Sorted

but then you've got not ticket to get out of leicester... you'd have to live there forever!!! or get a £12 ticket back the following day.

as mentioned before, you'd only get to see 20 mins of the game before having to leave to get the last train with them!
