    when i do it on an indivitual ticket basis i got the journey down for 9 quid and the journey back for 12.50, i thought return tickets were meant to be cheaper

    train ticket prices are random as fuck like. Try and book them well in advance and you get em for alot cheaper.

    You not got a new car sorted yet?

    Re: train tickets

    I used to think that all the train booking websites were exactly the same but recently found out that they're not, they can have dramatically different prices. Best thing is to book directly on the train operator's own website, so (usually) www.nationalexpresseastcoast.com, and book as far as possible in advance. That'll be much cheaper than something like TheTrainLine, who don't do discounted advance tickets, and charge you 50p to pick up your own tickets (WTF!!??!!) and extra % to use a credit card.

    You can get Durham-Leeds for £6.50 each way, but obviously it all depends on what time of day you need to go.

    I travel down to London all the time for work and sometimes it can cost £260 return. Absolutely fcking ridiculous. Easyjet is £100 and that's peak time. Where's the logic there?!

    cheers boys, got it for 21.50 both ways, cant grumble too much last time i was on the train it was clean and tidy and hitler would have been proud cos the fucker was actually on time, took about 1hr 20 mins to get from newcastle to leeds and didnt cost as much as a taxi from sunderland to newcastle.
