Getting To Newcastle Urgently on the Cheap

In my trip around the country, I will have a lot of problems, because I often won’t know, which train, I can catch.

I was in Kings Cross this morning and looked up how much it would cost me to go today, if I bought a ticket.  A Super Off Peak Single with a Senior Railcard would have cost me £72.40.  But suppose I want to go tomorrow, how much will that self-same ticket cost on the web?  I’ve just looked and if I want to travel tomorrow, it’ll cost me £36.20.  Or half price.

So just by booking the day before, you get half price on the web.  And I can travel on any train after 9:30.

Incidentally, there are no cheaper tickets.

So when I have to return after a busy day, I’ll have one in my wallet, as I can use it on most late trains home.
