Default Train ticket discounts?
I'm wondering if anyone knows of any train ticket discounts? I'm planning on going to see someone, but the overall cost of getting there and back is £66.

Does anyone know of any discounts they could suggest? I'd really appreciate it.

Doubt you will have much luck finding anything cheaper really, the only thing you could try is different routes or different times

The 16-25 railcard is great value though, have had one for the last three years and has probably saved me a few hundred quid though I do use train travel a fair bit

London Midland usually have a "great getaway" thing on and I know it was on recently because I got an email, but it might have finished by now.

When you've searched on Virgin Trains as well, beneath the initial times and prices page there should be something that says "Results are based on end-to-end tickets for the fastest available trains. Click here to check if slower routes with cheaper tickets are available.", click on that and there is usually much cheaper tickets available
