[Travel] Any decent train options for Burnley away?

[Falmer Flutter ©]

Seems an expensive faff at the moment, even with railcards. Any good/cheap options to break it up?

Won’t get much cheaper than it is now so act quickly. A few trains still available as Advance but these will go. Getting 9-00 from Euston and 18-15 return.

For me and my son I’ve bought a super off peak travel card to get from Lewes to Euston for £21.75. And then a ticket from Euston to Burnley for £43.95 for both so about £66 for the 2 of us.

Mine was around 35 return (with railcard) when bought a few weeks ago. Leaving on 8:33 i think. May be options to split preston then onwards but didnt appear to be when I looked

You will probably find it cheaper to book a return to Manchester Piccadilly (or Preston) and then buy a local return on the day to Burnley.

You can buy a house in Burnley for less than a train ticket, so it might be cheaper to move up there just before the game.

Thanks all. Managed to avoid driving to any northern away games this season, but this looks like being the first. Tried splitting via Manchester and looks like a similar price. Will have a look at the Preston option.

I’m going up from Hastings via Manchester and return via Preston. £56.75 without a railcard was about as cheap as I could find.

Good news, a 50th birthday party to attend so can thankfully miss this awful away game

There's no decent train options. Unfortunately all of them end up with you being in Burnley.

Plenty of decent trains for me - but will the ticket sales get down to my lowly rung of Amex purchase history? Last time I went to Burnley, there were only a few hundred in our end, I don't suppose that will be the case this time.....

Booked to fly up from Southampton to Manchester as soon as the fixtures were confirmed. Was cheaper than the train and get to leave home later and also gets me home much earlier.
