You are very limited but Southern trains go to Milton Keynes or Bletchley with one change at Clapham. we booked our's yesterday for 8 of us to go cost us each £5. bargain, cost more to get busses around town

FIVE POUND each, well worth doing then - thanks!
only problem I see is keeping the herd together and getting on the same trains!

in fact it was £5.10 each, as there is one child, who travels for £1 but split between us were not going to squable over 10 pence. Keeping together could be a problem as i think you only get the 1 ticket for the whole group, not sure yet as they havent arrived. but well worth it.

Telling four people to get on the same train can't be that difficult can it. Unless you're taking some mental patients on a field trip to MK to look at the cows

Thanks to Guinness Dave
Its 4 for £20 the deal you haveand you should get a ticket each so you would only have to keep 4 people together so it shouldnt be too hard!
And in my experiance most of the guards arent too fussy about it

I think there is some deal on the coach as well that means if one pays two go free?

Used this before on Daysave you only get 1 ticket for the group . Well worth it valid on any southern train for the whole day.
Only 1 train an hour i believe to and from Milton Keynes/Bletchley on which it is valid so return trip could be crowded.
Not sure if this will work...

So to clarify, train to Clapham Junction, change for MK of which there will be 1 an hour on the southern network. Correct?

Our group are getting the 10.19 from brighton to clapham, get the 11.38 to milton keynes which arrives there 12.54, just intime for a few more beers in a pub if we can find one
Do you remember the days when you just bought a ticket from A to B? These days you need a doctorate in operational research to sort a journey and purchase a train ticket. Can I bring my bicycle?

10:43 from Haywards Heath. Change at Clapham, and go straight to Bletchley.
On the way back, it will be either the 5:17 or 6:17 from Bletchley depending on if we can make it to the station. Change at Clapham, and home by 8pm at the latest

I've been advised by a mate who works on the railways that the Southern service is very very unreliable.

Humm well I've never had a problem on any Southern train. There is a 20 minute wait at Clapham I think, so even if there is a slight delay getting there you should be ok getting the connecting train.
I meant the Clapham-MK train specifically. Apparently this particular service is a bit ropey.
It has only been running since January so it's relatively new. I think they had a bit of a disagreement with Virgin over track access rights and what not..
