Hayley's Money Saving Tips

Travel by Train

“Train companies are scrapping dozens of their cheap fares. Some travellers will see the cost of a return journey triple.” Telegraph 18/05/2008

A simplified train fare system has been developed using 3 tickets types; advanced, anytime and off-peak, therefore people MUST book in advance before traveling to avoid the penny pinch.

Planning on a long weekend break this summer? Just booked your tickets for a summer festival? Though about travelling by train but was scared off by national news that a simplified train ticket system meant ticket price rises? Well fear not, if you book your train tickets 12 weeks in advance and avoid travelling at peak times then you still can bag a bargain. So why not scarp the car, and travel by train. It’s relaxing, eco-friendly and if planned ahead is cheaper than filling up the tank. .

Tip

  1. Just about to book a train journey! Register with Internet Cashback to earn cashback on your tickets.
  2. Do a price comparison and find the cheapest ticket.
  3. Don’t forget to make yourself a packed lunch and hot flask. Food and drink prices on trains are a complete rip-off and will do your purse some serious damage.
