train tickets: london to Brighton/Portsmouth/other south-east stations at £3 each way @ National Express East Coast

£3.00

458°

FOUND BY: nmerlet 3 months, 1 week ago

Hi,
I am unsure where to post this, as it might be a normal price or a bug (I don't take the train much)
National Express East Coast currently sells train tickets from london - brighton for this summer are at £3 each way.
What is weird is that the nationalrail website price them at £5, but that none of the 14 other train operators has these tickets at £5 (their cheapest is £13 or so).

It might be the same for other south-east or national destinations, but I don't have the time to try. If you try, give us feedback ;-)

So, if like me you're planning a couple of days in Brighton this summer, enjoy!

edit 1: be sure to select 'London Victoria' not 'London (all)'

edit2: also works for Portsmouth and other stations in the south east. Thanks pompeyrich for testing!

That is an excellent find.

I have been using the advanced booking fares at £10 return.

BEWARE It is still working, but you have to type 'London Victoria' as your departure point. It does not seems to work with 'London (All)'. Do NOT ask me why

Great spot, £3 tickets also available to/from Portsmouth, and other stations in that area, if you choose London Victoria, rather than London (All).
