Book them now then, hurry!!

Also say you've got a discount rail card to get it cheaper, the conductor won't check half the time

what if they check? :bawling:

the reason why i'm wondering if its worth it is because of the charge fee. 3.50

Then just say you forgot it, even if they make you pay the full price you won't be charged any more than it would have cost anyway

What site charges £3.50 for a booking fee :suspect:

Also ITILYT in the future, book in advance (if you know about it obviously) it'll be so much cheaper :)

Try and book at off peak times too if you can. Generally after 9.30 am.

The annoying thing about booking tickets in advance is that you have to catch your train at the specified time. Cheaper.... but a pain in the bum.
