Supporters Airsoft-Ed Posted May 29, 2012 Supporters Posted May 29, 2012 I've been thinking more about transport recently and it occurred to me that there are sort of "boarders" with train lines and companies. For example, when I'm visiting my girlfriend I get a train from Sheffield to Leeds and then one from Leeds to Skipton, but I pay for it as one ticket "Sheffield to Skipton" and deal with the changes myself etc etc. But, I recently found out that if I buy two lots of tickets, one from Sheffield to Gargrave (I think, it might be somewhere else) and then one from Gargrave to Skipton, it costs me less to go exactly the same distance, via exactly the same trains. So I'm thinking, there must be other places along practically every train line in the country where the fair for the ticket sort of "ticks over" to the higher end of the fair price, so if I (or anyone else) books their train to the NAE by booking tickets to all the stations prior to this illusive fair boundary station, then tickets to the next one and the next one, instead of just buying one ticket for the entire journey, it might come out costing something reasonable. Not something mental like the £300 odd I was quoted for the other day. Don't suppose anyone either a: understands what I mean, or b: knows where all these train fee boarders are? I think I might take a trip to my local station and quiz them on it, then see if that, combined with booking in advance can be used to make it an affordable trip. 'Cos at the moment, getting a lift, or a coach, is looking like my only options and neither of them seem that plausible, or likely to happen.
Supporters Flynn567 Posted May 29, 2012 Supporters Posted May 29, 2012 WTF £300 you can fly for less than that?
joshcowin Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 mate go national express its cheaper just had a look for you mate.50 quid including return
Supporters Airsoft-Ed Posted May 29, 2012 Supporters Posted May 29, 2012 National Express is a coach service right? I've found a pair of return tickets for about £90 but it takes about 8 hours to get there =/ which is a bit steep considering the amount of time it takes, it more than doubles the amount I was planning on spending...
joshcowin Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 yes mate it is.but its a weekender.and im going to ring H tomorrow and ask if we can leave monday if anyone has a long way to go
Supporters Airsoft-Ed Posted May 29, 2012 Supporters Posted May 29, 2012 I think I remember reading somewhere on the site that you can leave on the Monday, best to confirm it though. I definitely will be if it's possible.
AF-UK Founding Member Deva Posted May 30, 2012 AF-UK Founding Member Posted May 30, 2012 Ed you can always try student discount. I think national express give it. I do know what you mean with tickets. Generally it is when you switch providers i.e. Virgin to Arriva etc.
Nickona Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 okay, as i've been away I need to do some catching up on stuff, 1. which team are we going into? 2. is there any time pressure to book? Thanks a lot
