Bury St Edmunds - Birmingham 15th April

[mawallace]

Doing a trip Bury St Edmunds - Birmingham 15th April. 2 adults 1 child Family Railcard

What is the cheapest tickets / split for that day?

I am willing to travel via WCML or BSE - Stevage - Peterborough is cheaper and not too much of additonal time.

Need to leave BSE at arounf 6.30am in the morning, and arrive back in BSE by approx 20.00 - 21.00.

We will be going around Birmingham - Bounville on that day if it helps!

Out:

BSE to CBG
Dep: 05:49, Arr: 6:36, Cost: £18.40 (Anytime Return)

CBG to BHM (via KGX and EUS)
Dep: 7:15, Arr: 10:28, Cost £23.45 (Advance)

Arr at KGX: 8:06
Dep EUS at 8:43
this is enough time to go either the one tube stop (price included although I suggest you walk down the Euston Road - 45 mins should be fine!)

Return

BHM - LEI
Dep:17:22, Arr:19:08, Cost: £21.60 (Anytime Single)

LEI - CBG
Dep: 18:17, Arr: 20:08, Cost £11.35

It should be noted that the two train above are actually the same BHM-Stanstead Airport service so you may remain on the train because it calls at Leicester

CBG - BSE
Dep: 20:43, Arr: 21:23, Cost £0.00 (you can use the anytime return from the first leg)


edit: Forgot about BHM-Bournville!

BHM-BRV is £3.90 for an Off-Peak return



If my maths is right then it is £78.70 which isn't bad compared to the ~£150 return

In the highly likely event that you're going to Cadbury World you can get 2 for 1 entry if you use your train ticket to Bournville: Details

edit: changed Cadbury world details to 2 for 1 as per the weekday offer since the date of travel is a Friday
