Warrington - Shildon return with senior rc

[46100ROYALSCOT]

Have checked prices for a return trip from Warrington to Shildon with senior railcard, best price I can find is £35.80 any better prices please? That price is for a weekday but weekend is ok if cheaper. I would like to see the 2 A4s.

Just had a quick look and it seems as if £35.80 (Off-Peak Open Return w/ Senior RC) will be your best price unless any of the online retailers offer any discount on new members?

Have you tried trainscanbecheaper.info? According to that, you can save a couple of quid by 'splitting' at Leeds (using Off Peak Day Returns - which may, or may not, meet your needs depending on what your travel times are and if you are returning the same day) however that is not the cheapest price.

'Best' has not been defined, but if 'best' means cheapest, then you need to 'split' (and therefore the train must call) at:

• Glazebrook
• Littleborough
• Walsden
• Micklefield
• Church Fenton
• Northallerton

Note that is not 100% definitely the cheapest, but is likely to be the cheapest. This saves around 1/3 of the price, but at a time penalty as you would need to get Northern trains to York, then TPE* between York and Darlington. This also assumes you return the same day.

(* There are also a few EC services that call at Northallerton)
