What date and what time will you be travelling there and (I presume) back?

Okay I just had a look and it appears that the vast majority of services run from Doncaster on an East Coast service to Kings Cross changing at Peterborugh on to an East Midlands Trains service going to Lincoln (calling at Spalding). But because your using advances we need to know the exact dates and times of your trains in order to make sure your catching the correct trains (if your on the wrong train your ticket won't be valid and you'll be liable to pay a full single fare for your journey).

Right well the itinary for the £9 Journey on there (The only one I can see) is :-

Doncaster 0837 (Harrogate-London Kings Cross HST)
Peterborough 0926 (Platform 3 - Subject to Change)
**Change Train**
Peterborough 0935 (Platform 2 - Subject to Change)
Spalding 0957

This is an EC&Connexions ticket, which if you book from East Coast Mainline Company, you can get an extra £1 Web Discount on.

A good train to return on would be the 0902 from Spalding which is currently £8 on the East Coast site,changing at Peterborough.

Spalding 0902
Peterborough 0927 (Platform 2 - Subject to change)
Peterborough 0946 (Platform 4 - Subject to Change)
Doncaster 1034
