Coventry to London via Oxford

[TomJ93]

For this Tuesday, I want to do XC to Oxford and change onto a HST bound for Paddington. Outbound only I need to arrive by 1pm. Full fare ticket, could I also be given 1st fares for my HST journey?

Thanks.

I don't understand your question. A First Anytime Return is £215 between Coventry and London Terminals and is valid via Oxford for the itinerary you gave.

bb21 i agree with you also don't understand. Outbound Only? Does this mean single?

First Anytime Single is £107.50

A Coventry to Oxford FOS is £58 and a Oxford to London FDS is £47 = £105 for the singles.

You mean you want a (walk-on) 1st class single? The 1st Anytime Single fare Coventry - Paddington is £107.50. The route is priced by Virgin as they assume you will go via Rugby which attracts a hefty premium. Therefore, try splitting (my usual advice applies ) in this case, try somewhere like Banbury.

Coventry - Banbury FDS £22.50
Banbury - London Terminals FDS £65.00
Total £87.50
(FDS = 1st Anytime Day Single)

Other splits may be cheaper, usual advice on how to find them applies

Sorry guys. I mean an advance single if possible, as long as the train arrives before 1pm.

Am planning to go standard the length of the journey but If a first advanced single is not too much more I'd like to sample FGW 1st

It is cheaper to split at Leamington

Cov - L Spa FDS £9
L Spa - London rte Banbury FOS £75

If you're talking Advance fares then I think First Class might be a bit of a luxury. Standard is available from £5 at http://www.mobitix.thetrainline.com/FGW/advancepurchase.aspx for the day in question.

If you have a railcard, a number of departures including 1001, 1031 and 1101 are currently £4.30 on Advance.

There is no First Advance for this flow so you will be looking at walk-on fares with no discount given for Y-P.

Decided to do a 67 from Leamington, the 10:55 for £7.

Thanks for all the help.
