trains

[Jeff]

Have you tried the train operators?, they usually get it about right.

No they don't, they tell you about any of the tricks you can use to save money.

Re: Leic > York

There should be £7 singles available, but it appears they haven't been released as yet, although a rail website says they have :icon_conf

The best available ticket price I can find is £29.90. These are walk up tickets with no restrictions. You will need a CDR Leic > Derby - CDR Derby > Sheff - CDR Sheff > York

Going to York, there is a direct train at 7.54am, which stops at Derby and Sheffield, so you wouldn't have to change. This gets into York just after 10am. Coming back to Leicester after 6pm, will involve changes.

Re: Leic > Dawlish

There are £13 singles available for the outward journey departing 8.08am arriving 12.33pm (1 change at Birm New St) or 10.09am arriving 14.29pm (Again 1 change at Birm New St)

Coming back to Leicester, is slightly more expensive £19.50 single. Currently available are 10.55am arriving 15.23pm, 13.25pm arriving 18.24pm or 14.59pm arriving 19.24pm - (All these involve 2 changes at Exeter St Davids and Birm New St)

Total Journey Cost - £32.50

Hope this helps

Always makes it better when you can get there for nearly half the price of standard tickets.

Changing twice isn't a huge problem, as it only puts about half hour this particular journey. My only problem with changing more often is the chances of missing connections are increased.

At least it's only 1 change on the way back, when you'l be wanting to get back home!!
