Posting for a friend: 1 adult, 1 child with FAM railcard. Garforth to Edinburgh north tomorrow afternoon, back south Thursday afternoon.

Can anyone see any better than the SVR at £86.35 (for 1 adult 1 child with FAM railcard) please? Happy with naughty tickets, happy to change onto TPE, etc etc.

Thank you guys. Appeciate the responses.

I suspect the through SVR is the ticket for me on this occasion sadly:

-travelling with the little one, I'd rather do the direct 3 hour route than double that by going via Carlisle (unless the saving was like 50% or better)

-as a personal view, £86 for a flexible ticket would trump £70 for advances (with all the risk they entail)

Is it for you, or for a friend? I will make my recommendation accordingly.
