Newcastle [NCL] - Sittingbourne [SIT] travel today.

[Mr395008]

Hello,

I urgently need to travel today from Newcastle to Sittingbourne. My return date would either be Saturday or Sunday.

I've been searching on National Rail/EastCoast/Cross Country websites to see what kind of prices I would be looking at but the majority of the tickets are around £80.00 for a return.

Is anyone willing to help me out to find a cheaper ticket?

I've got a Young Persons Rail Card so can use this too.

Thanks,

395Johnny

You won't be able to get Advance tickets for your outbound journey today, and as your journey is priced by East Coast, buying a walk-up single and an advance for your return would be more expensive than a walk-up return. The cheapest option for a through journey is a super off-peak return at £83.75. There may be splitting options, stay tuned.

A Super Off Peak Return is £83-75, this is valid on any train departing Newcastle for the rest of today as all the barred trains would have departed by now! (restriction for outward travel is: arrive King's Cross at or after 1117).

Valid any train between London and Sittingbourne.

Valid any train back at weekends.

Grand Central's £15 deal has now ended, so I can't think of any way to make it cheaper.

Does not look like there are any splits on unfortunately. Getting cheap tickets at such short notice is never going to be easy.

Right, thank guys.

I had a look and couldn't find anything cheaper, just thought I'd post on here to see if anyone else could find something.

Thanks anyway.

I very much doubt it. Not to return a different day.

The only suggestion I would have involving splitting is:

Newcastle-Sunderland Anytime Day Single £2-00
Sunderland-London GC Only Off Peak Rtn £55-45
London-Sittingbourne Plus High Speed Off Peak Rtn £16-90
Sunderland-Newcastle Anytime Day Single £2-00

The saving is negligible!
