Jimbo 133 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 That's why I never consider getting the train up to Newcastle, it is totally cost-prohibitive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 16474 Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 They are trying to get people off the roads etc but how? That is a mental price for what can be a simple 2h car journey. No wonder traindrivers are on £40k p/a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordieboyo 0 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 ? When I look up fares the most expensive return ticket I see costs 44 pound. And remember 2 singles can work out cheaper! It might also be cheaper to buy a ticket from Leeds to Manchester then Manchester to Stoke. Sounds wrong, but I save about £5 on a single from Swansea to Bristol by changing my ticket at Cardiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stevie Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 No, no, no. Nein, nein, nein. www.thetrainline.com Normally gives you the cheapest options but...if you're travelling from Newcastle to T'Leeds best option is to buy a ticket to York then York - Leeds saves about £14 if I remember correctly.
