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

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 Ł3.50 for a booking fee

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

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.
