Huffton Posted 27 April, 2011 Posted 27 April, 2011 Anyone going down on the train? A late change of plans means I'm either going by train or driving. Anyone looking for an extra person to make up a groupsave?
ladysaint Posted 27 April, 2011 Posted 27 April, 2011 12 of us going on the 0645 from Southampton to Plymouth but we have got all our tickets now.
Huffton Posted 27 April, 2011 Author Posted 27 April, 2011 Where did you get your tickets from? Just looked on SWT website and they want £75 return for me and my nipper!
ladysaint Posted 27 April, 2011 Posted 27 April, 2011 We did a group 4 cost 100 between us i.e. £25 each, we normally go down to the station to buy the tickets direct as well.
Chorlton Posted 27 April, 2011 Posted 27 April, 2011 I think I am paying £40 return from Southampton for me & my nipper through SWT website (leaving Soton at 0750ish, Plymouth at 1150). But that was with a family railcard.
SimonRichards Posted 27 April, 2011 Posted 27 April, 2011 Paying £24 as part 4 for 2 group save and £1 for nipper! Leaving central at 7:30ish. change at Salisbury and Exeter.
oldsarum Posted 27 April, 2011 Posted 27 April, 2011 Paying £24 as part 4 for 2 group save and £1 for nipper! Leaving central at 7:30ish. change at Salisbury and Exeter. Beware most trains on monday from Exeter to Plymouth and return are Cross Country who do not accept Group 4 tickets Also cheapest way to travel without Group 4 is get return to Axminster £22.10 from Salisbury; then Return Axminster to Exeter £9.20, then Return Exeter to Plymouth which is £7.90 per adult = £39.20 if you have a Network Card you'll get 1/3rd off fares down to Exeter so would be £28.77 cheapest fare online currently £50 return
Goalie66 Posted 27 April, 2011 Posted 27 April, 2011 I am paying £43 with a railcard from Woking return via Salisbury and change at Exeter Central. Bit tight as the only train I can get back is the 6pm. I assume lots of Saints fans will get on at Salisbury. My train arrives at Salisbury at at 9.45 from London
Didcot Saint Posted 27 April, 2011 Posted 27 April, 2011 £34 group saver from Didcot. Hopefully will be a few Oxford/Reading based fans around!
West End Saint Posted 27 April, 2011 Posted 27 April, 2011 £50 return leaving from Central at 9.10 1 change gets to Plymouth 12.50 Trainline.com this is the 1 I will be on but still searching for a better deal havent booked it yet anyone else on the same Train ?
Mister Neil Posted 27 April, 2011 Posted 27 April, 2011 £50 return leaving from Central at 9.10 1 change gets to Plymouth 12.50 Trainline.com this is the 1 I will be on but still searching for a better deal havent booked it yet anyone else on the same Train ? Yep, me and Mrs Neil. We bought a split ticket, that is a day return to Exeter from Central and a day return from Exeter to Plymouth. Came to less than 40 squidlies each.
Joe Kirkup Posted 27 April, 2011 Posted 27 April, 2011 As I didn't get Brentford tickets me and Mrs Kirkup going down Saturday from Bracknell via Reading, coming back Tuesday. £72 each - cheaper than 2 tanks of petrol.
stevegrant Posted 27 April, 2011 Posted 27 April, 2011 A recommendation for those who have used thetrainline.com - don't! Use one of the train operators' websites, it doesn't even have to be one of the operators who are running the trains you're planning on using, but you won't get charged a card handling fee and you'll get exactly the same fares - they use the same data.
Saint Samuel Posted 27 April, 2011 Posted 27 April, 2011 I'm going from Hungerford, need to change at Reading, five hour journey time (probably a long wait at Reading), return ticket was £44 in advance but hopefully it will be worth it.
Saint Garrett Posted 27 April, 2011 Posted 27 April, 2011 A recommendation for those who have used thetrainline.com - don't! Use one of the train operators' websites, it doesn't even have to be one of the operators who are running the trains you're planning on using, but you won't get charged a card handling fee and you'll get exactly the same fares - they use the same data. I use thetrainline.com a lot. Absolutely superb to me, and when I look at other websites, they generally are more expensive by a considerable amount. I THINK you can just pay and pick them up from the machine at the station..thats what I normally do !
Barry the Badger Posted 27 April, 2011 Posted 27 April, 2011 We're on the 645 from Southampton, via Bath I think...
BLEEDREDANDWHITE Posted 27 April, 2011 Posted 27 April, 2011 SOUTHAMPTON 06.46 ARRIVE EXETER ST DAVID 09.42 £23.75 with a railcard then get a day return Exeter -Plymouth £7.90
LeBenali Posted 27 April, 2011 Posted 27 April, 2011 As above, or I also used to find it cheaper to get separate tickets to Salisbury, then another from there to Plymouth.
saint_jas Posted 27 April, 2011 Posted 27 April, 2011 Wish train tickets from Nottingham were that cheap, had to fork out £114 today. Least I am in Plymouth now.
