Droitwich Spa to Folestone Stns - looking for cheap options

[mumrar]

I'm helping a friend to get tickets for her Mum to visit, travel details are 20th Sep, Droitwich Spa to Folestone Stns, arrival time not really that bothered, wanting cheapest fares.

Although I can't check availability I found some £7 London Midland Advances to Euston, but then for London-Folkestone only Day tickets are available, so it doesn't work out any less in total than a SVH rte Any permitted from Droitwich Spa-Folkestone which is £34.90.

So, anyone know of creative ways to get the last leg to Folkestone done from London, just incase I can get some of the cheap London Midland advance tickets still? Thanks very much for your help.

You could get a Droitwich Spa to Birmingham Day Single £6.30 then a Virgin + Connections Advance ticket on the 1210,1230,1330 Virgin Service, which currently are priced at £15.50 from Birmingham -Folkestone Looking at the connections it's routing via HS1, so a quick journey in all . That's looking on my phone so.can't give full iteinary.

But a SVH ticket can not be purchased as a single. It is only valid as part of a return with an advance for the other half of the journey.

Durr, I even know that, so what was I thinking! Thanks for waking me up, I'll also check out the above too and see how it works out. Cheers.

Yes I have a way, however considering your profession, I'm not sure whether I should tell you.

Edit:

In fact, scrap what I said above. The £15.50 Advance as mentioned by Sonic above can be had from Kidderminster. So only a single between DTW and KID is required, costing £3.60. This will be your cheapest option I would imagine, this close to the travel date.

I think you can buy one with an SOS as the other half as well, for what it's worth. Or you can buy a cheapest tier advance for two months' time and throw it away.
