New Mega Train routes from Glasgow to Birmingham £2.50 return or £1.50 single/ other routes available too (services run by Virgin Trains) @ Megabus Starts 14/07/2008
£1.50
STARTS: 14/07/2008
They stopped these a while back,but have now returned from 14th July,just tried this out.
Glasgow to Birmingham 14th July return 22nd July £4.50.
But other dates I have found are from £1.50 single ie Glasgow /Birmingham a return 30th July to 6th August £2.00 return plus 50p booking fee = £2.50.....now that is cheap.
Or singles £1 plus 50p booking fee.
They have added other journeys too ie from Edinburgh,see website for journeys timetables available.
The trains you catch are run by Virgin trains and tickets only available for certain trains.
Just my luck I need to travel on the 10th July and it's going to cost me £30 single on normal train sites,this is how i came across this, I could'nt see it posted before.

You aren't allowed to break your journey with these tickets, i.e. you get on where you say and you get off at the end. And nowhere in between. So your friends could join you on the same train if they like, but you couldn't get off to meet them. Or rather you could get off but the ticket is only valid on that train so you'd need to get straight back on again. |
