Burton on Trent to London

[alex17595]

Hi, all I'm looking for the cheapest way to get into London on the 19th May from either Burton on Trent, Willington, Derby, Tutbury and Hatton + Tamworth.

I'm looking to be able to get to Kings cross in time for the Northbound Cheiftain. The best price I have come across so far is a £19 advance from Derby-Pancras on the 0500+0519 departures.

I have a YP railcard and I'm fine with advance tickets + travelling via the world if I have to. Just looking for a single.

Any advice is appreciated.


Thanks, Alex

I'd guess at LM from Tamworth?

Megatrain might be cheaper from Derby - see the Megabus website.

£19.15 would seem to be the cheapest single fare for Derby to London on the 19th May using a 16-25 rail pass

Is it essential you join the Chieftain at Kings Cross ?

If not there are plenty of advances Burton to York for £12.30, or £52.20 for Burton to Inverness (if you're going that far) on the Chieftain from York, minus railcard discount.

Not essential but I some of the ECML I haven't done south of Doncaster.
I just realised that LM/XC advances have not yet been released for the 19th. Going by the week before advance Tamworth-London are £7.90 on early-ish trains, I can then get a cheap advance back from Glasgow.


I managed to do Tutbury-Inverness for £14.50 in January
