train tickets

A question about : train tickets

Hiya, I am a student and travelling home is getting quite expensive. I am at leeds university but live in kent. Usually it costs me Ј45.50 or over for a return ticket. I have looked at two singles but doesn't cost me any less, wondering if you would be able to help me or any sites you recomend? I want to leave on the 23rd of october from leeds to faversham and return on the 28th of october from faversham to leeds. I dont mind what times these are. if you could help would be great!

Thanks
kirstie

Best answers:

• I doubt you'll get much better.
  Have you tried splitting at Grantham?
  Booking via TopCashback and their link to FirstTransPennine will get you 1% cashback.
  Virgin pay 2% cashback.
• Why not go by coach? National Express have offers on at the moment, starting at about Ј12 return Leeds to London Victoria, and another Ј12 return Victoria to Canterbury (booking a through journey from Leeds to Canterbury comes up a lot more expensive). From there you could maybe get family or friends to collect you, alternatively take a local bus service.
