£17.50 London Euston to Liverpool Lime street

£17.00 Liverpool lime street to London Euston

Total £34.50

However looking at trains from brighton that sunday morning and getting back looks like its bus replacement services between Three Bridges and East Croydon. Does anyone know anymore on this?

It doesn't, I have had to look up cheapest journeys to on different routes adds about an hour and a half going out and and hour coming back.

I 'av a spare ticket from Liverpool to Euston for £18 (or whatever suits) if anyone needs. Leaves Scouseland 7.22 via Manc.

Grand Central are not part of ATOC as it was formed after the privatisation cut-off in the 1990s. I forgot this when I used them to go to 'that' Boro match in 2016. Luckily I had a decent member of staff to deal with and got to Sunderland without bother.
'Split my ticket' website shows a cheapest price from Brighton to Lime Street of a tad over £100 return

Grand Central are in the ATOC

Strange that the conductor pulled me up on my Staff Travel then. I went along with it and was allowed to carty on with my journey. Odd. I'll ask [MENTION=1416]Ernest[/MENTION]

That'll explain it. I knew you'd know

Correct, other TOCs would not agree reciprocal arrangements as they only run a few trains a day but bizarrely I believe Hull Trains is as I used my pass on them a few seasons back.

Yes, thanks for the heads-up. Trains are disrupted between Brighton & Three Bridges until 9 o'clock that Sunday morning. I'll have to get the other 'alf to drive me to Gatwick and pick up the train from there.

I am trying to look at the cheapest way to get to and from liverpool by train. Completely missed the early virgin fares

Has anyone found a cheap via anywhere else at all. Ive seen plenty of helpful tips before on here.

Any helpful suggestions?

Worth getting a friends and family railcard if you're going with friends. Costs £34 but mine has paid for itself many times over this season.
