    A cheap, backup return ticket from Glasgow to London

    Thanks Yorkie, very much appreciated. I think the £411 was because I was looking for a ticket that I could refund the day before. I've decided to leave things for the time being and hope the flight's OK. If not, I'll use the forums booking engine. Thank you

    A cheap, backup return ticket from Glasgow to London

    Thanks everybody for your helpful comments. My trip to London is for a weekend seminar. It was rather expensive, hence why I was looking for a backup option. I think it’s very unlikely that BA will cancel all flights. My thinking was that if costs got to high, they might reduce the number of...

    Thank you Redreni. I had been using the Google journey planner and it pretty much always suggested the change at Slough from the Elizabeth Line. I'll bear your suggestion in mind, although I've never been to Paddington before. Newguy

    Peak-time rail fares to be permanently scrapped in Scotland from September 2025

    Thank you both. I’ve just bought a yearly session ticket. Haywin point makes a lot of sense. I will check on prices again in September and can get a refund or changeover at that point. I expect that ScotRail will remove the 12 for 10 flexi deal and the 20% off in session. Who knows what they...

    Peak-time rail fares to be permanently scrapped in Scotland from September 2025

    I travel to work 5 days a week and have been benefiting from the 20% off the monthly session tickets. In fact my plan was to buy a yearly session ticket before the price went back up. I am now wondering what to do. Will the session ticket prices come down and be inline with off peak prices or...
