A question about : cheap train journey from northampton

my daughter travels from northamtpon to derby each friday. She has a young persons rail card. The journey costs Ј18.80 each time. I have not been able to find any cheal tickets. Please can anyone suggest ways to save money on this journey

Best answers:

  • Need to know what tmes your daughter travels at, and how flexible the times are. Is it a return journey? (& what day does she return on)
    Depending on the time try splitting the journey at Tamworth.
    Is going from Wellingborough or Bedford any use?
  • I assume she comes back - in which case an off peak return at Ј20.75 should fit the bill
  • If it is just a single, then splitting at Tamworth can save a bit, - Ј10.75 + Ј4.30 = Ј15.05. But the Ј4.30 is an advance fare only on certain trains, so means waiting there for an extra half an hour, which could be tedious
    Or split at Burton-on-Trent. Buy tickets to and onwards from, and stay on the same train. Ј12.00 + Ј4.05
