He could split the ticket I suppose, but what was the name of the site?

Does it knock much off?

Ie save £5 but wait 2 hours? Or does it have really good savings?

Never used it tbh, i always book Virgin trains well in advance for like £8 each way to London.

I think the way it works though is you stay on the same train, but say it costs £100 Cov to London one way (this is all made up prices) it allows you to book Cov to Watford (£20) and Watford to London (£15) as seperate tickets but you stay on the same train. Therefore saving £65.

Thanks all - lad at work going to Blues West Ham in cup was looking at £700 for 4 of them now about £120. Half of me didn't want to tell him as he's a bluenose

Yeah, same here, Si. Always use Virgin and try to get them well in advance (like my 43 return tickets for the Checkatrade final I never went to.)

I use national rail. They break it down to singles if that option is cheaper.
Got a family and friends rail card ad well which gets me extra discount.

Cheers I have a trip to Bristol next May and it’s looking at near enough £200 return for 2 so would like to reduce that!

There's no waiting around. You stay on the same train but just 'split the ticket journey. e.g. Coventry to Manchester is £100 say, you buy a ticket to Crewe for £40 then from Crewe to Manchester for £40 it saves you £20. In terms of savings, sometimes it can be a few quid, sometimes it can be a lot. Can almost consume your life searching for cheaper ways to travel if you use the train a lot


Edit* I notice that Si80 beat me to it!

Anything that goes to/through Temple Meads is extortionate for some reason, good luck finding cheaper.
