    probably easier to do all of the journeys as singles then it's less complicated

    Trouble is singles are nearly as expensive as returns.

    i have the same problem i need to be in london on friday so a single to london then to congleton friday night then home saturday. cant see how i can do it other then three single tickets even though as you say it's so much more expensive doing it that way

    unless you buy a return from the place you are ending up in and returning home from and singles for the other journeys

    I think you are right, I don't think I can do anything else other than get singles all over the place.

    Can't help you with your particular journey but my dd travels from Lincoln to London and back regularly and always books single tickets because it works out cheaper.

    Have you tried ringing the train help line and asking them the best route and value for money?

    No I haven't. Think I should because this weekend away is getting to be more work than it's worth!


    Ruddy Cadbury world - youngest is only desperate to go because he gets free chocolate (forget about the hotel and the 34 trains it involves lol)
