Hi all,

Short notice I know, but can anyone find me a deal cheaper than the standard £32ish for a 16-25 railcard day return from Doncaster to Telford on Saturday?

I need to be in Telford by 12:30 and leave after 17:30.

Many thanks if you can help (split tickets / singles etc...)

Haven't checked advances, but splitting at Sheffield/Derby/Stoke, you could get returns for a total of £23.60 with a railcard.

Leaving Doncaster at 07:52, changing at Derby/Stoke/Wolverhampton gets you there at 11:59. Return, leave Telford at 18:15, arrive Doncaster 22:03 with an additional change at Sheffield.

Depends whether the longer journey time is worth the saving to you.

A further £1.10 can be saved by splitting at Mexborough (and getting stoppers).

or via Stockport/Crewe:-

Doncaster-Cheadle Hulme £9.40
Cheadle Hulme - Goostrey £3.65
Goostrey-Telford £7.45
Total = £20.50

Plus York and Selby if I've read the Routing Guide correctly.
East Coast though will only give you an itinary via one or the other.

Try looking up Donny-Goostrey or Cheadle Hulme - Telford if you want a laugh! Although the general public who don't know how to find the best deal won't be laughing - they'll be getting their car out of the garage and ditching the train.

:shock:

Not all that surprised given they're priced by XC though.
