Peterborough away

[Brighton Ark]

Just logged into web site to buy train ticket (from London) and it was going to be £65 return!!!! I tried Red spotted Hankey, The Trainline and National Rail. They all say the same. Any ideas?

Off peak day return is £26 on the slow service.

Buy Cheap Train Tickets. UK Ticket Prices East Coast


If you can get 3 or 4 of you tickets you can get a group save which will bring the cost down further. Booked well in advance earlier in the season and it worked out £15 a head return.

i think you can get a daysave thing from first capital connect for £17 if there is are 3 or 4 of you it would cost £40 i think and that includes your tube travel in london . could be wrong though

Off-peak travel only, fine for coming back but since your leaving Kings Cross in the evening rush hour, i dont think it would be allowed - ill ask FCC now actually.

EDIT - Just got a reply from FCC, Daysave isnt allowed to be used from Kings Cross at peak times, would have to be a new ticket.

The slow train only takes 20 minutes longer ..... 100 quid for a return ticket to pboro on the fast one - ridiculous

cheers for that. does peak time start at 430? so if you got on at kings x at 429 youd be ok?

Can't you get a cheap return to somewhere like Edinburgh or York and just get off at Peterborough

 

[essbee]

Cloud,

That is called 'breaking your journey'. Used to be allowed - but no longer.
You'll get clobbered if you try it.

I can't go as the last train back from Peterborough to Nottingham is at 9:52!
