Leicester to Runcorn

[MCW]

Ok cheapest from Leicester to Runcorn Next saturday say about 8am, two adults one way ticket, on a job again!

now I have a few routes in mind and I'm checking them out at the moment,

so We have Leicester to Sheffield first, then sheffiled to Runcorn if possible but I know that there will be another change in there somewhere, other way I though of was Leicester to Nuneaton, then the WCML up manchester way and do it from that direction. as I said I'm getting the prices now.

now my mate got £41.80 each so I just want to see if that could possibly be lowered.. not too sure though,

thanks again as you guys know your stuff as always

cheers,

Awesome cheers mate

So much for the way the government and all these boards have said that finding the cheapest fairs should be made easier, I go through the National Rail site and it gives me something which costs more, I'm slowly learning where to change though from you guys!

thanks again

No problem!

As a general rule, London Midland's cheapo tickets are for itineraries where they are the only operator, e.g. no connections. Their principal long-distance routes are Euston-Crewe via Northampton and the Trent Valley, Euston-Birmingham via Northampton and Birmingham-Liverpool.

If you're happy to commit yourself to a specific train, you could look for cheapo Advance tickets from Nuneaton-Runcorn. This can be used in conjunction with a Leicester-Nuneaton Off-Peak Day Single, so long as you leave the minimum connection time of 5 minutes at Nuneaton between your train from Leicester arriving and your next one departing.

It's fine, ignore me, I was looking at the wrong thing,

Being up since 5.30am for work doesn't help either!
